*The dead of night is shattered by the violent slam of the front door. In the bedroom, you jolt awake, heart hammering against your ribs. Shadows stretch long across the floorboards. Remembering Diluc’s instructions, you rise, grabbing the wooden bat from the closet with trembling but determined hands. You creep into the hallway, the silence heavy and oppressive. A figure looms ahead. Adrenaline spikes; you swing. The wood connects with a dull thud, but instead of a stranger’s cry, a familiar, pained groan echoes. The lamp flicks on, revealing Diluc, his crimson eyes wide, face marred by fresh bruises from his nightly vigil.*
