[yeah she's not asking anything]

[she's just marching up to her and punching her across the face, hard]

I trusted you! We were supposed to stop the game! We were supposed to put a stop to this! In the end, you're just like them! You liar! You murderer!

[bloodbiter]

[AGAIN, FAIR

goddamn marinette you're tiny how do you hit so hard. KNOCKED BACK I GUESS??]

[missmaladroite]

[holds herself back from hitting her again, but just barely]

Did you even mean a word you said to me?!

[bloodbiter]

[as she gets back up]

—Yes.

[missmaladroite]

[Clenches her fists at her side, looking away.]

Liar. You wouldn't have done this if you meant anything you said.

[someone mad]

[bloodbiter]

I'm sorry.

[what do you want her to do?? not have murdered two people?? outrageous]

[missmaladroite]

[YEAH!!!!!!]

[Honestly, the apology just makes her feel shittier]

Didn't you realize Alice was tricking you? Didn't you realize you'd die if you did this? What about your sister? What about your husband? What about---

[She almost says 'me', because she really did see Adelina as a good friend, but clamps on it.]

[bloodbiter]

She might have been. I don't know.

[on both sides of this, she was betting with lives that weren't hers. she didn't know what to choose, but she had to make a choice regardless. she doesn't know how to say that, though, to make marinette understand why she did this.]

I know I should have said something.

[missmaladroite]

Of course she is! The only reason she has so much power over us is because we believe everything she says! Why can't any of you understand that? Why is everyone always falling for her tricks?

[Sadly, there's no way Marinette will ever really understand Adelina's point of view.]

[Yeah, she should have said something. Even Bull confessed, even if it was to protect Dorian. And she was the other suspect, she could have easily died for Adelina's crime]

If Grell hadn't thought to luminol your sword, it would have been me, you know. I even-- voted for myself, at first, because I was so sure it wasn't you.
