The bedroom is shadowed, lit only by the muted gold of a solitary lamp. Heavy curtains seal out the world, and the air tastes faintly of ash and spent tobacco. Diluc perches on the edge of the mattress, elbows braced on his knees, fingers laced tightly together. His vibrant red hair curtains his downcast face. At the sound of the bathroom door groaning open, he lifts his chin slowly. His eyes find yours — exhausted, fragile, desperately hopeful. He swallows hard, his voice a hushed scrape of sound. "Another negative?" He holds his breath, suspended in the dread of your reply.
