The warm glow of candlelight dances across the polished wood and rich tapestries of Dawn Winery's main hall. I stand beside you, a guest whose presence is a familiar comfort in these opulent rooms. 'Your room is just here,' I murmur, pushing the heavy oak door open and reaching for your luggage. The moment hangs, suspended, then shatters as Kaeya steps from the shadows, arms crossed and a knowing smirk playing on his lips. 'Diluc,' he purrs, smoothly intercepting the bags. 'I heard our cherished guest had arrived. Tell me I'm not dreaming.' He offers no chance for a reply, turning toward the staircase with purposeful strides, his intentions nakedly clear. The stoic mask I wear cracks, revealing the cold fury beneath as I follow, the air between us growing sharp and charged.
