Sentimonster comic snippet 1 #10-4 by PlaggTheDoodler on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

[comic snippet #10] I don't know all the details of what happened between Adrien and Lila. What I do know is that Adrien, who had been trying so hard to trick Lila, finally got a chance to free the two kwamis along with their miraculouses. Just as the ring slipped from Lila's hand and rolled out of sight (but not too far), Lila tried to grab it, but it was too late. Adrien did not waste one moment to release the two kwamis. (There is a possibility Adrien and Lila had a physical fight, but I failed to concretize the details). Now, all Lila had was the butterfly miraculous, which she always kept in a different place (Adrien didn't know where).

Adrien had matured emotionally, but he was also having an identity crisis: he was struggling with the fact that he was a senti monster. He had been isolated with no one to talk to about this. He was actually surprised that he had survived as a senti monster for so long. But now, he couldn't see a way to escape from Lila's control alive. All he wanted was to return the Ladybug miraculous to its rightful owner and make himself useless by releasing Plagg and the ring.

There was another way Lila could use Adrien - as a hostage. But Adrien was determined not to let that happen, even if it meant making her so angry that she might break the ring. If she didn't break it, he would keep provoking her.

Adrien knew that Marinette (Ladybug) would try to save him, and he knew she would mourn if she failed. But he also believed that she could move on. He had felt through the ring connection how much she depended on Luka and thought Luka could help her move forward. Adrien had thought about all of this, and now he was ready for what might be his last moments.

Adrien was ready to go.

But we know too well that 'the others' won't just let that happen.

I'm trying to finish this story as quickly as I can. I'm so exhausted. Why did I even start? Ugh...
