    Summary

    “I must be going insane…” He muttered, rubbing at his eyes.

    “Perhaps.” The other version of him replied bluntly. “You yourself are aware of the effects the delusion can have, hallucinations aren’t exactly uncommon. But with your natural power and the power of the delusion combined, is it so hard to believe you could create something like this?”

    The delusion smiled at him, a trace darker than what felt natural to see on Diluc’s own face. It sent a shiver down his spine.

    ---

    In the aftermath of his father's death, Diluc leaves mondstadt with nothing but his delusion and vows vengeance on the fatui. He discovers that he has the ability to use his delusion to create a magical construct taking the form of a second version of himself to fight by his side, and ends up seeking out comfort from it in his loneliness.

    Perhaps he's losing his mind. He's not sure if he cares anymore.
