“Adrien! How dare you speak to me in this manner?!” Gabriel Agreste fumes. “You asked about seeing your friends? Forget it! I will see to it personally that-”
"NO!!” Adrien yells, surprising even himself. When did he ever scream at his father? But the taxing day had leached all rationality from his mind, and he speaks freely, without consideration.

I need to see my friends!” Adrien turns away slightly, muttering. “I literally got akumatised today, give me a break.”

“Adrien-” His father stutters, clearly having made the connection. There’s a few seconds where they both stare wide-eyed at each other, unsure of what to do. Then Gabriel gasps. “My God -”
Adrien runs.
