Summary
Death is not the only farewell, but the most painful goodbyes are still those which were never said, and never explained.
“When Ladybug purifies the akuma, she doesn’t really cleanse it.” His Kwami began, “She fills it with joy that counters the hate and suppresses it. It can still be used for darkness again, for anger will always remain.”
“I-I’m not sure I entirely understand...”
“When you purify the akuma, it’s actually purified. You don’t overshadow the evil, you take it away. You absorb all the darkness, and then the akuma is just another ordinary butterfly. It can no longer physically be used for evil. You take its ability to hate.”
Adrien was silent for a moment, “S-so why don’t I purify all of them?”
“Kid, I already told you. You absorb the darkness. Previous Chat Noirs have existed without Ladybug, and they’ve all become cruel and spiteful. That pain that the akuma victim was feeling is all expelled on to you. It doesn’t just vanish.”
Or the one where Chat can also purify akuma, but becomes just like one in the process.
