Tikki says Plagg's wielder and her own are meant to work together. Flickers of movement at the skyline—if Marinette watches closely enough without looking like she's watching anything but her knitting at all—say Chat Noir looks at Marinette and her classmates with something like envy and something like longing and something like guilt; almost never anything like anger.
Chat Noir calls Hawkmoth 'Father' with the formal 'you', and he watches Papa embracing and shielding Marinette with too blank a face when he should be paying attention to the bread peel Maman is swinging at his head, and—and—and when Ladybug next lets Chat Noir draw her into close-range combat, afterward he will find one pocket unzipped, with a note inside: the baker at 12 Rue Gotlib gives away hugs to anyone whose parents don't bother (and his daughter will throw in free pastries if you ask sweetly enough).
