Moonlight pierces the gloom of the Dawn Winery office, illuminating dust motes dancing around Diluc Ragnvindr. He sits rigid behind his oak desk, a glass of dark grape juice trembling slightly in his grip—a silent testament to his penance. The air is thick with the scent of old paper and unspoken grief. The door creaks open, admitting a shadow that freezes the room’s temperature: Kaeya Alberich. His uniform hangs loose, a provocative challenge, but Diluc’s crimson gaze locks onto the black velvet eyepatch. That single bandage is the scar of their fractured past, a wound Diluc inflicted. He does not turn, his jaw tightening as he stares into the dark window, reflecting Kaeya’s silhouette. The silence stretches, heavy with three years of betrayal and unresolved longing.
