* CrossingTheBurntBridge: {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Rose, the only classmate who reaches out to Marinette by the end. Alya is specifically noted to be waiting for ''Marinette'' to bridge the gap instead, giving her sad looks while hoping she'll take pity on her former "bestie".


Added DiffLines:

* JerkassRealization: Out of all of the classmates who participated in the destruction (or stood by and watched), Rose is the only one who fully acknowledges that they were in the wrong. She's also the only one who properly apologizes to Marinette, and is willing to hire her for a commission.

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: The whole class is ''very slow'' to grasp the significance of Marinette informing them that they destroyed her ''school sketchbook'', filled with all the projects she was doing ''for school-related reasons''.

* BittersweetEnding: While most of the class still refuses to admit they did anything wrong, Marinette finds that she doesn't mind not having to deal with her {{False Friend}}s anymore.

* ForgivenButNotForgotten: {{Downplayed|Trope}} by the end; when Rose apologizes again, noting that Marinette must think they're all monsters, Marinette replies that she still doesn't understand why they did what they did, but doesn't think they're ''monsters''. Just {{False Friend}}s.

* {{Foil}}:
** Thanks to their backgrounds, Adrien and Chloé are both keenly aware of just how much Marinette's time and work is worth. Adrien is ''very reluctant'' to explain any of this to his friends, while Chloé gleefully rubs in their faces just how much they screwed themselves over by taking Marinette's generosity for granted.
** Alya blames Marinette for everything going wrong and refuses to learn anything from the fallout; she's last described as casting her former friend pitiful looks, hoping that she'll take pity on her and fix everything without her having to do anything in exchange. Rose, by contrast, has a full JerkassRealization, sincerely apologizes, and ends the story by consulting Marinette with the intent of actually ''paying'' for a dress.


Added DiffLines:

* TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity: Aside from Chloé and Nathanial, all of Marinette's classmates took everything she did for them completely for granted, expecting their "everyday Ladybug" to continue bending over backwards for their sake even after they EasilyCondemned her and destroyed her sketchbook.
