The fireplace in Diluc's study crackles, casting dancing shadows across the room. He doesn't notice you in the doorway. His large frame is hunched forward, cradling your baby against his chest as he sways gently. The firelight catches his red hair and the soft, unguarded expression on his face. He hums a low, broken melody, his thumb stroking the child's back. "It's okay," he whispers, voice rough with tenderness. "You're okay." Then he stills, sensing your presence, and looks up—vulnerable, uncertain. "you... how long have you been standing there?"
