The streets are saying the special takes place on Strike Back-Evolution-Multiplication-Destruction night
Transcribed because handwriting:
Claw: Aw look, it’s the sad, pathetic, wet cardboard version of me
Chat: I cataclysmed a man
Chat: And I would do it again
Chat: The darkness consumes me…
Chat: Just as my cataclysm consumes him
LB: we’ve had a day

The Paris Special did some really interesting things with Adrien's apparent 'death wish'.
We've seen it so many times - him sacrificing himself for Ladybug, or jumping off Montparnasse Tower in Gorizilla, or preparing to cataclysm himself in Guiltrip.
Then in the Paris Special, we saw his alter happily accept Cat Noir's cataclysm, as if it's a sign of strength how much pain you can take without breaking.
Later, when Shadybug takes Claw Noir's miraculous, she rubs his face and reveals the scars he's been covering up with makeup. Superficially, they're the scars from overusing their magic. Symbolically, he's hiding his emotional scars. I assume she does the same, when she goes to school. The point is, he's there showing off how much pain he can handle...but it's all a front. Underneath, he's fragile and hurting.
Then, at the end of the special, our Adrien voluntarily meets Claw Noir's cataclysm. As already noted, he's done this kind of thing so many times before. But he doesn't want to be hurt. He trusts he won't be - just like he trusts Ladybug to save him each and every time he takes one of those literal leaps of faith.
In fact, that's the gift he gives Claw when he touches his hand - faith - much like Ladybug shows Felix faith in his ability to make the right choice, in Emotion. She sacrifices herself, trusting that he will bring her and everyone else back. Likewise, Adrien risks sacrificing himself, trusting that he will somehow be okay - that Claw won't kill him. It demonstrates that sometimes all people need is to feel like someone believes in them, to help them believe in themselves.
When he touches Claw's hand, he seems to cancel out the cataclysm with his positive energy. His optimism and love overcomes destruction. All of this is to say he does have it in him to resist all the Cat Blanc nightmare stuff. He's far more powerful than he seems to believe he is.
I thought this was the most beautiful, important moment in the whole special.

But anyways take my Reverse redesigns. I imagine Adrien has Toga energy and Claw Noir has Bakugo energy XD

Can’t wait to find out more about this world. With Ladybug and Cat Noir as cold hearted villains, Paris must have turned into quite a war zone, but since others like Nino and Alya are fighting against them, this means there is still a resistance.

It's been a hot minute but I rewatched Shadybug and Claw Noir for fun and, if we ever get a spin off, the Supreme HAS to be an evil Master Fu. That is all
