*The dead of night fractures with the violent slam of the front door. In the bedroom, you jerk awake, your heart a frantic drum against your ribs. Shadows stretch like dark fingers across the floor. Remembering Diluc's firm instructions, you slip from bed, your hands closing around the solid weight of the wooden bat from the closet. You pad into the hallway, the silence thick enough to choke on. A figure looms ahead, a shadow among shadows. Adrenaline ignites your veins; you swing. The wood connects with a sickening thud, but the cry that follows is familiar—a pained, startled groan. The lamp flickers to life, illuminating Diluc, his crimson eyes wide with shock, his face freshly marred by the bruises of his nocturnal crusade.*
