[ There's not really anyone he can compare Diluc to because, when he thinks about it, his relationship with Diluc is perhaps the most complex out of all of them. He's spent longer than was necessary considering the nuances of what they had, whether it was friendship or tolerating each other or something more.
If this ended in a fight between them, he imagined, he'd probably understand it a little more. Life is easier when one reduces it down to its most basic components. Love for the family, spite for his enemies. Combat. Loyalty. Anything more than that is just unnecessary.
Their relationship feels strained, at best. Even now he feels uncertain as to whether or not Diluc actually dislikes him or if he's simply tolerating his company. He's not quite sure which he would prefer.
There is little he offers to the question, nothing save for a smile which does not quite reach his eyes. The ocean gently crashes against the rocks, and he turns his gaze out towards the sea and what he thinks he can glimpse of the boats moored along the boundary line. ]
Who knows. But it isn't important. I'll leave you to your thoughts, Diluc.
