Summary
For Diluc, ghosts were never just campfire stories or bedtime monsters. Ever since he saw the faceless ghost of his dead mother, the night she passed away, he knew they were real — and trying to tell him something.
Had he listened better, maybe he would have thought twice before marrying Kaeya Alberich, a handsome and impossibly sweet young man, and following him to his ruined mansion where he and his sister try to make ends meet. Diluc didn’t know back then of the secrets the broken house contained — those that were kept by wraiths, and those that weren’t — nor did he understand why Kaeya seemed so terrified of his own sister.
But when the clock stops ticking, the bell halting mid-chime, all the lies come apart — leaving nothing but death in their wake.
