The Point of Divergence fic Fox Rain is dedicated to showing what could have happened if Lila had accidentally proven her heroic potential to Master Fu right after her original Akumatization, thus keeping her from becoming much worse than before, but still has a number of moments:
- The show implies that Papillon's influence had a role in Lila's worsening character... And this fic actually shows it: with just a phone call from Natalie to Prince Ali, Papillon nearly destroyed Lila's trust in the friends she already had. While Trixx' presence kept it from having the desired effect, it's still unsettling.
- The fic doesn't shy away from the fact Gabriel here acted as a pedophile. In fact, Gabriel knows... And doesn't care, because once he wins it will have never happened.
- The story is making Lila become more heroic... But her reaction to realizing Papillon tried to destroy all her trust in her friends shows she still could have become that by her plan: feign it worked to jump him at the right occasion and steal the Butterfly Miraculous, and then throw him to the authorities while hoping they'll reopen Devil's Island (a nearly inescapable prison infamous for the death rate and the tortures to the prisoners) just for sake of a Papillon pun... And admits to herself she would do it if possible. Good thing Prince Ali realized what she was planning and thwarted her and Ladybug managed to snap her out of that anger...
- The narration states that Ladybug knew how to snap her out of that anger because she used to feel similar before meeting Tikki.
