dear all,

If you're one of those who've waited for more than two months just for this pesky 1k-word update—

anyhow, I'm really, really sorry for postponing this and procrastinating, but now that exams over I PROMISE I'll write more. (I hope I can :")

Please enjoy~ (I hope)

Sincerely, Scarlet

This wasn't like how it had been with those people Kaeya had once slept with. This was nothing like that. Those kisses were devoid of feelings, no warmth or love.

Well, although the night had turned out different from planned, Diluc decided that he liked this ending.

"It's getting late." Diluc glanced out the window. Actually, it was much more than very late. Already the sun was peaking out of the horizon.

"It's getting early. The suns up," Kaeya corrected, stepping right in the way of the door. Leave it to him to point out the obvious. "I didn't realise you were one of those teenagers staying up late to talk to their crushes— "
