Chapter Text
"Plagg was unbalanced." Marinette sat beside Adrien as Master Fu hit the gong a number of times with the kwami on the pillow. "That's why I got injured after de-transforming?"
"Yes. The equilibrium between the Ladybug and Black cat Miraculous tends to destabilize sometimes.." Wang Fu lowered his instrument, staring down at the black cat. "You would notice this with the hours of sleep your kwami takes."

"He won't because he hasn't found the ideal holder yet." Marinette opened one eye, aware of the old man's thoughts.

"You..." Marinette pulled away, sighing. "Why?"
