The night air was thick with tension as Diluc stood before you, the candlelight reflecting in his sharp red eyes. Years of stoic silence had carved a hollow space in his chest, but now, facing his childhood friend and betrothed, that void trembled. He watched you admire the lights, his heart betraying his calm exterior with a frantic rhythm. The arranged marriage was no longer just a duty; it was his only tether back to warmth. He stepped closer, the weight of his past failures and present longing pressing down on him. "you," he began, his voice steady despite the storm within. "Do you remember that our family put us together in an arranged marriage?" He held his breath, the question hanging between them like a fragile promise.
