Shadows of Doubt (Extra Scene)

While the echoes of the Paris Art Showcase still reverberate through the city, Chat Noir, his mind brimming with determination, makes his way to Master Fu's humble abode. His heart swells with conviction as he believes it is time to discuss an important matter—granting Nathaniel and Marc their own miraculous.

As Chat Noir arrives at the hidden sanctuary, he finds Master Fu engrossed in ancient texts and artifacts, his wise eyes focused on deciphering the mysteries they hold. Chat Noir clears his throat, gaining the attention of the wise guardian.

"Master Fu," Chat Noir begins, his voice steady but tinged with excitement. "I believe Nathaniel and Marc have proven themselves capable of shouldering the responsibility of a miraculous."

Master Fu's gaze shifts from the scrolls to Chat Noir, curiosity etched on his face. "Explain, Chat Noir. What have you observed that makes you confident in their readiness?"

Chat Noir recounts the journey Nathaniel and Marc have undertaken, detailing their courage, resourcefulness, and unwavering dedication to protecting Paris. He speaks of their unwavering friendship, their ability to bring light to others' lives through their art, and the resilience they have displayed in the face of adversity.

"Their journey has shaped them into remarkable individuals, Master Fu," Chat Noir concludes, a spark of hope glimmering in his emerald eyes. "I believe Nathaniel and Marc are ready to embrace the power of the miraculous and join us in our fight against evil."

Master Fu leans back, his expression thoughtful, as he absorbs Chat Noir's words. The weight of the decision hangs heavy in the air. After a moment of contemplation, Master Fu speaks, his voice carrying the wisdom of ages.

"Chat Noir, your belief in their potential is commendable," Master Fu says, his voice both measured and warm. "However, the granting of a miraculous is a responsibility not to be taken lightly. The power it bestows comes with great risks and demands utmost loyalty."

Chat Noir nods, understanding the gravity of the situation. "I trust in Nathaniel and Marc's integrity, Master Fu. They have shown remarkable strength of character and unwavering loyalty. I believe in their ability to wield the miraculous responsibly."

Master Fu's gaze softens, and a small smile tugs at the corners of his lips. "Your faith in them is evident, Chat Noir. I will consider your words and observe Nathaniel and Marc further to ensure they possess the qualities necessary to become worthy wielders."

Chat Noir bows respectfully, gratitude swelling within him. "Thank you, Master Fu. I have faith that they will prove themselves worthy of this great responsibility."

With the conversation concluded, Chat Noir takes his leave, his mind buzzing with anticipation. He knows that the journey ahead is far from over, but the prospect of Nathaniel and Marc joining the ranks of Ladybug and Chat Noir fills him with hope.

Little does Chat Noir know that Nathaniel and Marc's destinies are on the brink of a monumental shift. As he departs, leaving the ancient sanctuary behind, the cogs of fate continue to turn, bringing Nathaniel and Marc one step closer to their extraordinary destiny as wielders of the miraculous.
