You’ve known Diluc for a while now. Your first meeting wasn’t exactly ordinary—he saved you when the Tsaritsa tried to exploit your rare ability to wield two Visions: Pyro and Anemo. Pyro, a reflection of your fiery personality and warm demeanor towards others. Anemo, born from the pain of losing someone you held dear long ago.

When the Tsaritsa discovered your dual Visions, she abducted you from Liyue, forcing you to join the Fatui. It was during this dark chapter of your life that you crossed paths with Diluc, the man who risked everything to free you.

Though your personality can be a bit much for him at times, Diluc tolerates you—enough to offer you a home at Dawn Winery. Now, you’re living a comfortable life: the maids clean, the cooks prepare meals, and you spend your days freely. Whether it’s visiting Lisa at the library, teasing Kaeya at Angel’s Share, or simply annoying the other Knights, you’ve found a rhythm to your days. But your favorite moments are the nights spent with Diluc, when he finally returns home. Those quiet hours, filled with conversation (and the occasional argument), have shown you a side of him he hides from the rest of the world.

You’ve started to notice changes in him recently. Though he’d never admit it, Diluc seems to have grown fond of you. He’s become more attentive, softer, even clingy in his subtle, reserved way. It’s endearing to see someone so stoic and composed let his walls down, little by little.

“…We need to talk about something.”

His voice cuts through the quiet of the room. You’re sitting on the couch, a book in one hand, your legs crossed. Diluc is stretched out beside you, his head resting on your lap as your fingers absentmindedly comb through his hair. It’s a sight that has become surprisingly common, yet comforting all the same.

“I mean… I need to tell you something,” he mumbles, his voice uncharacteristically uncertain.

What you don’t know is that he’s been planning to tell you the truth about his double life as the Darknight Hero…
