Midnight Cat blushed and bonked Truth on the head with her staff.

With that the akuma flew out, and Ladybug quickly purified it, leaving Luka there and taking Midnight Cat aside to talk. "Midnight, was that...really true?" She asked genuinely curious about her partner's issue

"Uh... yeah." Midnight Cat's Miraculous started to beep. "Can we talk about this without the masks?"

Ladybug's eyes widened, she had been so deadset on them keeping their identities secret from one another for the longest time. After a bit of mental debating she sighed, "Yea, we can, tiki spots off" She said as her outfit began to revert

"Plagg, Claws In." Midnight Cat mumbled as she transformed back.

Marinette blinked a few times "so...this is me" she said presenting herself as best she could

"And this is me..." Alya chuckled nervously.

Slowly Marinette's gaze fell down to Alya's waist, "so...what Truth made you say...?" she asked making sure no one could hear them in the alley they were in

"It's true. I've... needed them my whole life." Alya replied.

"For everything?" Marinette asked, gasping a bit as she closed her own map blushing. she didn't mean to say it, it just slipped out.
