scene: outdoors, early Friday morning. approaching the school. raining. Marinette, half asleep, is riding piggyback on Nino and holding a large black umbrella over them both. Nino is about a quarter asleep himself. as is Alya, who jogs up, more interested in keeping her tray of to-go coffee dry than herself. one each for Alya and Nino, two for Marinette, though everyone is hoping Marinette can stay awake till lunch hour on only one and a half. the umbrella closes itself on Marinette's head.

this is all Adrien PoV. smell of rain, smell of coffee.

plot kicks in when characters start talking but given how difficult it's been getting this coherent I'm just...not gonna yet.
