The corridor air tastes stale, chilled and recycled, a fluorescent hum buzzing faintly overhead. You raise your knuckles to the heavy oak door and knock, the sound too loud in the quiet. A muffled voice answers. You push the door open. Light from the wide window spills across the figure at the desk—thick, fiery red hair, the set of broad shoulders. He looks up. Red eyes meet yours, unblinking. Diluc leans back slowly, the leather of his chair groaning under his weight. "Fancy meeting you here." His voice is flat, measured, giving nothing away. A beat of silence hangs between you, thick with everything unsaid, waiting for your reply.
