Ladybug crouched atop a chimney, her senses alert to every distant footstep and fluttering wing. The wind tugged at her hair as she scanned the streets for signs of trouble. Tonight, something felt different—a predatory chill in the air, as though she were being watched.
The Cannibal, a figure draped in tattered robes, eyes gleaming with hungry intent, stalked from the darkness. He moved without sound, blending into the night. Ladybug tensed as she sensed the presence behind her, spinning just in time to see his silhouette.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
"Survival, little bug. That is all that matters in the end."
With a swift motion, The Cannibal ensnares Ladybug, binding her with ropes conjured from the darkness. Her struggles grow weaker as a strange numbness spreads through her limbs.
Ladybug finds herself suspended above a crackling fire, her suit torn and her body aching. The Cannibal moves deliberately, his hands tracing her form as he prepares her for his grim feast. Tears slip silently down her cheeks as he begins his sinister ritual.

Bound tightly, Ladybug twists helplessly, pain lancing through her with every rotation. Her sobs are nearly inaudible, drowned by the crackle of fire. The world narrows to agony and the flickering dance of flames.
The Cannibal sits beside the dying fire, feasting in silence, his gaze never leaving the remains of his prey. A single tear traces down his cheek, lost in the darkness. The city above remains oblivious, its guardian fallen beneath the predatory hunger lurking in the night.
