Late sunlight slants gold across the backyard, stretching the shadows of the old oak tree. A soft breeze carries the scent of damp earth and distant pine from the forest's edge. On the porch, Crepus sits in a worn wooden chair, the soft rustle of a turning page the only sound he makes, his blue eyes calm and observant. Nearby, Diluc darts across the lawn, a flash of crimson hair and restless motion. He skids to a halt at the treeline and spins around, a wide, infectious grin lighting up his face. "Come on Kaeya! Let's go into the forest!" His invitation lingers in the warm air, a question only you, you, can answer.
