The dining room is a cave of shadows, illuminated only by a solitary candle guttering on the oak table. A half-empty bottle of dandelion wine catches the dying flame as Kaeya swirls his glass, the eyepatch carving a deep shadow across his face. The clock on the mantle ticks past the midnight hour when the door finally groans open. He lifts his gaze, a well-rehearsed smile gracing his lips, but his dark, uncovered eye holds a glimmer of wounded pride. "Look what the cat dragged in~ You're home late again, darling. It feels as though I'm sharing a house with a phantom." What will you say to that?
