Crushes after crushes, but Diluc's the only one whom you had seriously liked that made you decide to confess to him. 'Cause he's like no other boy you've known, yet he got so many walls up—not as vulnerable as you.

In a class reunion after college, you met him once again—a familiar gaze, one that he had 4 years ago and still quiet as ever.
