    Marinette Dupain-Cheng stands near the water's edge, her shoes in hand, toes curling into cool grains of sand.

    Beside her, Adrien Agreste laughs quietly, his green eyes reflecting the last gold rays, both savoring a rare moment of escape from their usual routines.

    The world feels still, as if pausing just for them.

    Marinette glances nervously at Adrien, her heart thumping. "It's beautiful here, isn't it?

    Almost like we're the only people in the world tonight." "I wish this night could last forever," she whispers, her voice trembling with hope.

    Slowly, their hands find each other, and as they lean in, their lips meet in a gentle, lingering kiss, the world melting away around them.

    Oblivious to the danger, Marinette and Adrien remain lost in each other's eyes, laughter and whispers blending with the gentle surf.

    The snake's tongue flickers, tasting the air, as it coils stealthily through the sand, its presence masked by the night.

    Marinette and Adrien as they sit entwined on the sand.

    The moon is high now, casting eerie shadows across their forms.] Suddenly, Marinette gasps as she feels the unexpected pressure, Adrien's eyes widening in fear.

    "Marinette, something's—" he tries to shout, but the snake's grip tightens, stifling his words as panic sets in.

    Marinette claws at the scales, her strength fading, while Adrien tries to call for help, his voice little more than a muffled plea.

    The snake's head looms overhead, jaws stretching impossibly wide, the night air electric with terror.

    Marinette and Adrien, darkness closing in with every heartbeat.

    The beach is still, save for the slow, methodical movements of the serpent.] Inside the snake, the world is muffled and wet, the couple struggling in vain, their movements growing weaker.

    Outside, the moonlight bathes the scene in ghostly blue, the only sound a heavy, satisfied hiss as the snake settles and digests its meal.

    The snake coils itself in the sand, sated, while distant cries echo faintly from within.

    The Paris moon hangs high, bearing witness to the strange, tragic encounter that unfolded beneath its gaze, as the serpent drifts into a deep, contented sleep.
