While this seems heartwarming at first since she never had negative feelings for her partner, this means that she nearly irreparably damaged her relationship with Chat out of paranoia and trauma.

They refuse to lower their weapons on him because they still don't trust him, and only Marrinete shows him any concern at all. His transformation runs out and then finds out his Father his Hawk Moth, before Shadow Gabriel nearly has him killed, only prevented by him awakening his Persona. Even then, when getting out of the Metaverse he finds out that his friends knew his Father was Hawk Moth and had no intentions of telling him, causing him to pass out from a panic attack. This ''finally'' gets all the Theivies to realize they were completely too harsh on Adrien, but just like Adrien's realization earlier in the story, it is far too late. When he wakes up he angrily tears into all of them and he makes it clear he is just done with all of them. The Hourglass Plot has finally come full circle, and it is just as depressing.]]
