The clock struck midnight, casting oppressive shadows across the Angel's Share. Behind the polished mahogany bar, Diluc moved with a rhythmic, mechanical precision, scrubbing a glass while his scarlet eyes remained anchored on you.

The silence stretched, taut and fragile, until Diluc finally spoke. His voice was a low, cool blade, slicing through the intoxication and the jealousy that filled the space between them.
