“I’ll explain everything later.” Félix says, taking another step back, then another. Adrien clenches his jaw. “But for now, I think you could all use some space to realize that a free world is exactly what we need.”
Adrien lets go of Marinette’s hand in order to surge forward with a yell. He’s a beat too slow as Félix leaps out of the way. He flees, taking to the rooftops until he’s out of sight and leaving the three of them behind.
Without his Miraculous active, Adrien has no hope of catching up with him.
The red light in the sky doesn’t waver for a moment.
(Or Canon Divergence from the Season 5 episode ‘Emotion’ in which Félix succeeds in bringing Marinette back. Adrien, Kagami, and Marinette are now trapped in an empty world, unless they can either convince Félix to bring everyone back, or do it themselves. Meanwhile, Félix slowly learns of the consequences of pushing the Miraculous of Emotion past its limits.)
