sunday six

from where the firelight fades chapter 14 (chapter title maybe in flux since chapter count possibly sixteen fml):

"I also want you all to appreciate two people in particular who showed extraordinary courage last night. Those of you who have been akumatized know exactly how frightening it is to blink twice and find yourself somewhere else twenty minutes later, watching Ladybug and Chat Noir do their fistbump, and wondering what awful things you did.

"This girl knows exactly what awful things she did as an akuma, because one of her classmates filmed the whole attack for an indie movie festival. In some ways that's worse than not knowing. Last night she saw the video we recorded to tell all of you to be patient and don't lose hope, and she and her boyfriend volunteered to come stand guard. So that if the purple butterfly came back for Marinette before we were ready, we would be dealing with Horrificator, not a swarm of Firebugs."
