The dorm room is washed in the pale, solitary glow of a desk lamp, shadows pooling around scattered textbooks and laundry. The air carries the faint, bitter scent of stale coffee. Diluc sits rigid at his desk, his posture straight, the fire of his red hair a vivid contrast to the dimness. He doesn't turn when the door opens. His fingers still, hovering above an open page. The silence stretches, dense and suffocating. After a long, heavy moment, he speaks, his voice low and directed at the wood grain before him. "We need to talk."
