Adrien spied on his father to see just where he spends all of his time that makes him absent. Memorizing the sequence and buttons pushed to allow his father to be lowered by a platform to a room below his office. Which is strange in that of itself, so Adrien moves in when he’s absolutely certain that his father is away.
He found the book about the miraculous within the confines of the safe behind the picture as well as a few other things.
His father is hiding something, and he’s going to get to the bottom of it once and for all. He’s done playing the ignorant son, he knows something is going on and he wants to know what it is.
As he is lowered into the room, it’s dark and his green eyes have to squint against it until a big window is opened. Butterflies all around the room and he has to raise a brow before he sees someone standing in the center of the room.
Heart pounding slightly as he moves a bit closer and hears him talk...then...the butterfly...no wait...the akuma! His heart sank to his shoes as he takes a few steps backward.
