Ladybug stands atop a high rooftop, her yo-yo coiled in her hand, surveying the city with a sense of foreboding. The air is thick and still, carrying unfamiliar scents. Somewhere below, an unspoken danger lurks, hidden in the maze of stone and shadow.
Ladybug follows a trail of odd disturbances—discarded shoes, a half-eaten baguette, a flicker of movement at the edge of her vision. She calls out, her voice trembling with both command and uncertainty. "Show yourself. I know someone’s here," she demands, but only silence answers.
The cannibal moves with unnoticeable precision, trapping Ladybug in a net woven of unnatural strength. She struggles, but the bonds tighten, digging into her skin. The courtyard’s air grows heavy, the only illumination the pale moonlight glimmering on her red and black suit.
The Cannibal, eyes glimmering with hunger, secures Ladybug to a makeshift spit suspended above a bed of kindling. Her wrists are bound, her face streaked with tears and soot. "Please, let me go. You don't have to do this," she whispers, voice breaking.

The Cannibal methodically turns the spit, watching intently as Ladybug is slowly rotated above the flames. Her cries are muffled by exhaustion and pain. Her suit begins to char, and she struggles weakly, her strength fading with each turn.

As her vision blurs, Ladybug feels her body growing numb, the heat overwhelming. Tears streak her cheeks as the last of her hope slips away. The Cannibal, face impassive, carves a piece from the spit and eats in silence, the only sound the echo of Ladybug's quiet crying fading into the darkness.
