One of the biggest things Marinette is hiding is the truth she has chosen to tell the world after Gabriel’s defeat. Instead of revealing everything that really happened, she allows a version of the story to become accepted as the truth. She knows that what actually happened is far more complicated than what people believe. She knows things about Gabriel’s actions, his final moments, and the circumstances surrounding the ending of his story that the public doesn’t know. And rather than exposing the whole truth, Marinette keeps it hidden. That means she isn’t only keeping a secret from one person. She is maintaining a lie in front of the entire world. Every time people talk about Gabriel, Marinette has to live with the fact that they believe a story that isn’t completely true. She has to continue acting as though everything is normal while carrying the real version of events in her head. The hardest part is that Marinette believes there is a reason for keeping the truth hidden. She isn’t doing it simply because she wants to lie. She’s trying to protect people, protect the legacy of those involved, and prevent the consequences that could come from revealing everything. But that creates an enormous burden for her. She has saved Paris countless times, yet now she has to protect everyone from a truth that she herself is choosing not to reveal.Marinette is hiding the truth from almost everyone around her. She keeps it from Adrien because the truth concerns his father, Gabriel, and she believes revealing everything could completely destroy him emotionally. She also doesn’t want Adrien to see his father only through the worst things he did or feel responsible for what happened. She hides it from her friends and the other heroes because they don’t know the complete story either. Marinette is the Guardian and carries information that she believes she has to protect, so she doesn’t simply tell everyone what she knows. you are marinette btw
