The next day, Joe woke up and do his morning routine like he used to. After that, he called Alya.
"Hey Alya, how was it earlier?"
"Honestly, it was pretty noisy, but most of us went away by 1 AM.," Alya answered.
"Good thing it was early and you got hours of sleep."
"Yeah, it was. I don't know if that will continue by today.," Alya said.
As the converstaion ends, Joe saw the notebook that Adrien gave to him the previous night. He seems to be serious about taking about this. Suddenly, Nicole aprroched him.
"Joe? What was it? Is there a problem?," Nicole asked.
"Yeah, it was.," Joe answered. "Adrien gave this empty notebook to me last night when I arrived back. I don't know why he gave it to me, it seems this has been unwritten."
"Maybe he wanted Marinette to stay in your heart. Just like him, he was heartbroken but he wanted to remember her by heart. Her friends also did the same, even me and Mario. Maybe you should do it as well.," Nicole answered.
"Thanks, Nicole. You really helped me out to start the day.," Joe thankfully said.
As Joe and Nicole went to the Dupain-Cheng Bakery for day two of the mourning, most of their friends were there, and Chloe, Alya, Mario, Mattia and Lorenzo were already there.
"You two were already here. How's the sleep?," Lorenzo asked Joe.
"Well, just a few hours of sleep at all, because I got a empty notebook from Adrien.," Joe answered.
"Why does Adrikins gave you that?," Chloe asked.
"Don't know. Nicole told me earlier that it might be Adrien's reason why he wanted to remember Marinette by heart, and she said that I should do it as well.," Joe answered.
"Good point.," Chloe said.
"Why is that, Chloe?," Nicole asked.
"Well, Marinette and I have been friends for a little, but when Joe arrived, my friendship with her started to form.," Chloe answered. "He's the reason why I became kind to her and her friends, and he delivered something that he have been doing since his day one here. He was very worried that something bad happened to Marinette, and it happened, and he was sad. He was the saddest out all of her friends.," she added as she saw Joe helping Parisians from afar.
Suddenly, a car arrived in front of the Collège Françoise Dupont. Chloe recongized the car as her father's.
"Father? Zoe? What are you doing here?," Chloe calmly asked.
"We're here just for the mourning. We all know Marinette was the kindest person this city has been.," André answered.
"Ok, father, I know you would help the people to recover.," Chloe said.
Suddenly, Joe and the rest approched the mayor's daugther.
"Zoe, Mr. Mayor, I guess you two finally came.," Joe said.
"Yeah, it was. I really miss Marinette so much.," Zoe said.
"I can agree with that.," Joe told Chloe.
"Me too."
While all of this is going on, the Agreste family arrived.
