    Summary

    Adrien has mastered the art of the smile. Even while his mind is on poor behavior, when he's caught beneath a barrage of unkind thoughts to himself, he's still able to keep his smile. Attend his friends' parties, maintain small talk, get through the day — and hopefully his friends won't realize how messed up he really is.

    Everyone is out-pacing him. While he's barely getting out of bed in the morning, his friends are making waves, changing lives, getting engaged.

    He can't even get his girlfriend to text him back.

    So, sure. Maybe he's not in the best head space right now — but 'suicidal'? Ladybug's certainly just reading too deeply into things. But if her concern for Chat Noir's mental state is enough to get her reaching out, well, he won't turn down the opportunity to chat with a friend. Besides, Ladybug seems to be having a rough go of it, too. Maybe they can help each other out.

    Summary

    A shy theater kid fears for the fate of his beloved drama club, the only place where he can stand the feeling of eyes upon him. The mysterious Hawkmoth picks up on the disparaging actor and transforms him into the dreaded Phantom of Françoise Dupont and gives him the power to save his beloved stage. With his newfound powers, The Phantom traps the entirety of Françoise Dupont in a dimension where they'll be viewing another version of their world where everyone sings, to show the school the wonders of theater and save his beloved club. As Marinette and Adrien prepare to transform into the heroes Ladybug and Chat Noir and stop this Akumatized actor, they are stopped by their kwamis, who feel a connection to the universe that the Phantom has selected. A universe where Hawkmoth has already been defeated. It's risky, but viewing this universe may finally reveal the identity of their masked nemesis. Ultimately, Marinette and Adrien decide to play this out and see what they can learn. After all, it's not like the viewing is going to focus on them and reveal their identities to the entire school...right?

    Summary

    I watched Aang examine the necklace, and a dead silence came over him. He had thought he was the last air-bender. Yet, in his eyes, I could tell he realized that no matter how much the Fire Nation tried to destroy the world, the world would always find a way to keep the balance.
