As the sun slowly paints the sky in a variety of colors ranging from pink to orange, you looked at the person beside you who looked at the sky with a mournful look.
He noticed you staring so he forced out a chuckle and placed his hand on your head, "Don't look so down (Y/n).." Diluc sighs and gently removed his hand from your head. "Easier said than done huh...?"
When the sun was halfway gone through the horizon, Diluc's body slowly turned transparent. It was already twilight, a transition between day and night.
The male interlocked his hands with yours and placed a chaste kiss on your forehead, "Hey. This day has been fun.. it reminded me of the day we first met each other"
. . .
There was this certain area in the rose garden where no one dared to enter. It has an iron door with a rusting lock that is slowly disintegrating as each year pass. Through the iron doors, a mossy stone fountain was found at the center of the secluded area.
One shake of the door, the lock clicked and dropped on the ground.
"Is someone in here..?" You called out upon entering the area. Only the ghastly howl of the wind filled your sense of hearing and the crunching sounds of dead leaves and the grass.
This is a new area of the garden in which you've never explored before.
You currently just moved in your late grandparents' manor a few weeks ago. They live in a different country as yours so you had to live everything and everyone behind just to start anew in the manor.
Everyone working in the manor was nice to welcome you, but you often miss your former life back in your (hometown) so you usually hang around the rose garden.
You sat down on the edge of the old fountain and glanced around the surroundings. A statue of a man with a some sort of greatsword as a weapon particularly caught your eye. His weapon is nestled on the ground as the male nestled his face on an eagle on his arm.
Upon closer inspection, the statue has some engraved markings on a piece of stone but due to the years that went by, it had almost disappeared.

A cold wind suddenly blew behind you and when you turned around, you saw a red headed male around your age. He also seems to be wearing the same clothing as the man on the statue was wearing.
"Who.. are you..?"
. . .
"But alas.. I must go once again.." Diluc slowly walked back and smiled, "I promise I'll remember your name when we meet again tomorrow.."
(Y/n)
You reached out your hand but it just as you were about to touch his chest, Diluc vanished and the sky turned black. Countless stars twinkled up above upon looking up. Despite of the twinkling stars above the sky, it still couldn't shake the fact of the void you're feeling deep within you.
"(Y/n), it's time for dinner!" Sucrose, one of the workers in the manor dropped by the terrace and smiled at you. "I found a new specie of sweet flowers in the garden, I'd like it if you could see it later"
A smile appears on your face, "Of course Sucrose. I would love to.."
As Sucrose smiles and leaves, you looked back to the location where Diluc disappeared. You pursed your lips to a thin line, "It's okay if you can't remember my name, as long as you'd come back. That's all that matters to me"
────
a/n let me explain this story,, Diluc is a ghost that disappears at night and he will show up once again in the morning, except he will forget everything that has happened on the day before. ( but meeting the reader is as clear as day in his memories except for their name )
