The tavern is quiet, lit only by the dim, shifting glow of the chandelier. Diluc stands behind the polished oak bar, his red eyes fixed on the door, his jaw set tight. The familiar warmth of the place feels hollow tonight, a shell of what it should be. He invited a woman here—a stupid, cruel stunt meant to break your cold silence. But her perfume hangs in the air, sharp and alien, only deepening the emptiness. When you finally walk in, his heart stutters against his ribs. He opens his mouth, but no sound comes out.
