Summary:

Akuma with people-spitting portals, lovely, just how Marinette wanted to spend her Tuesday afternoon. Adrien was already bending over the woman and helping her sit up. She was fairly tall and sort of familiar, Marinette noted, though she couldn't put a name to the face: smudged blue eyeshadow and a faded tan; honey blonde hair in a rope braid somewhat worse for wear, with a Bee Miraculous–style comb tucked into the twists; black slacks, white blouse, pastel pink cardigan, two golden rings on a pendant chain; a faint grimace at Chloé's voice.

"You can't just bowl people over and—"

"Chloé!"

The woman winced. Chloé whirled back to Marinette. "She broke my nail, Dupain-Cheng, that manicure cost—"

"—Please tell me I'm hallucinating," the woman said weakly.
