What is it?

[ The way he's staring at her and the way his voice has gone froggy.... She turns around, looking to see if there's anything behind her. But there's nothing there but bright light and the bridge.

When she turns back around she gasps, having gotten a shock of her own. ]

... Diluc? Is that... still you?

[ It has to be. Because if it isn't... ]

[phoenixblessed]

It's still me.

[And it's still her, because it has to be, because if it isn't then he's finally lost his marbles completely.

Still, he does have to look away from her, because that... isn't something he can see right now without his emotions tying themselves in knots. His father standing there clear as day.]

Oh, I hate this so much.

[glidinglight]

Is everything all right?

[ She can't say that she's a fan of it herself--seeing Greater Lord Rukkhadevata when she knows she's dead is unnerving at best--but that's a considerably strong reaction. ]

What do you see?

[phoenixblessed]

Ah-...

[He doesn't look up, and if this was not Lumine he would be very keenly trying to find a way out of here right at this moment. It's only his trust in her that keeps him in place.]

... My father.

[Someone Lumine had never met, someone who had never been in this place, so could only have been plucked directly from his own memories.]

Crepus Ragnvindr.

[glidinglight]

Oh.... He passed away, didn't he?

[ She remembers the servants talking about his father in passing--and of course, he's the owner of the winery, so it stands to reason that Crepus is no longer of this world (or any other living world, for that matter). ]

I'm so sorry. It must be painful to see him again like this.

[ As disturbing as the late goddess is, that's nothing compared to a family member. ]
