[That might make him tear up a bit - in his head there's a flash of bright green eyes like his own, blond hair a shade lighter than his twisted off draped over a shoulder. He doesn't know how but Celestia sounds exactly like his mom and it makes him want to cry. All she gets from him is a choked and strained -] Yes, Ma'am.
[Though that does make him pause and he's inhaling a shaky breath.] I made... I made her watch me die again? [For a third? Fourth...? Fifth time? God, no wonder Marinette is avoiding him like he's got the Plague. He'd avoid him, too. Now he is crying and his words come out broken up by soft hiccups.] I .. didn't know that.
I didn't mean to die. I didn't plan on it. But - but they were in danger and I just acted. I couldn't let them get hurt. I couldn't let either of them get clawed and slashed at like that. I had to protect them. That's why I'm Chat Noir, that's why I have Plagg and my Miraculous - that's how I - that's what you do for the people you love.
