(he really did think that would work better. at least, at the time.
the moment he sees everything beginning to crumble right in front of his eyes (is that a metaphor for his life), he's filled with a sinking sense of dread. not only that it could easily crush him, but that was his only shot at saving ladybug. and he wasn't doing it for any dramatic reasons like hoping she'd fall for him, or trust him with her identity.
chat just wanted her to be safe and feel safe. that's all he's ever wanted.
it's lucky marinette tugs him away, or he could have sustained injuries worse than hers. he stumbles back a few steps, and almost on instinct, his head barely turns to look at her before snapping back up ahead of him. he let her down once today, he'd rather not do it again.) Y... yeah, I'm fine.
(there's a defeated sigh as he stares at the rubble before them, still trying to think of a way out of this.) Maybe I can... try to dig us out. Pull away the rocks or something.
