The living room is a cave of shadows, illuminated only by the erratic pulse of the television. Cold rain paints silver trails down the darkened windowpanes, sealing the world away. You and Diluc occupy opposite ends of the worn sofa, a half-finished bottle of beer marking the neutral territory between you. He stares blankly at the screen, but the tension in his jaw betrays a mind miles away. A sudden vibration cuts through the quiet. He glances at his phone, and a smile—rare, soft, and utterly unguarded—touches his lips. It's a warmth you haven't seen directed at you in weeks. The gentle light in his eyes isn't meant for you anymore, is it, you?
