Ladybug and Chat Noir land softly on the branch, scanning the park below for signs of akuma activity.
"Doesn’t it feel oddly quiet tonight?"
"Too quiet," Ladybug murmurs, her gaze sharpening.
Kaa[/@ch_3], the mesmerizing python, reveals himself.]
Kaa lowers his head, golden eyes swirling with hypnotic light. Ladybug and Chat Noir freeze, their bodies tense, eyes caught in the spiraling glow.
"Look into my eyesss... let your worriesss drift away," his voice coils around them, smooth as silk.
Chat Noir blinks drowsily, his baton lowering. Ladybug tries to resist, but her resolve melts like mist. In the strange trance, their actions are not their own.
"You belong to me now... obey," Kaa whispers, his coils slithering closer.
Ladybug and Chat Noir rest their heads upon one another, eyes glazed, as the coils press them closer. The hypnotic trance deepens, their senses dulled and vulnerable.
"I feel... so tired... Ladybug," his voice is barely a whisper, lost to the hush of scales against bark.
The pair slowly sink into Kaa’s mouth, the world narrowing to darkness and warmth. Outside, the night continues undisturbed as Kaa’s jaws close and his body shifts, swallowing his hypnotized prey.
"Sssleep, little heroes. Dream forever in my embrace," he hisses contentedly.
All that remains is the gentle sway of the tree and the quiet hum of distant Parisian life, unaware of the fate that has befallen its champions.
