Summary
He looks at himself in the mirror and, like how it is most of the time, he doesn’t really recognize the person he sees. That reflection, whoever, whatever it is, stares back like a gaunt and empty husk of a- a thing; its features distorted just enough that Kaeya feels the hairs raise on the back of his neck whenever he looks at it. He doesn’t know when he stopped looking like himself, like a real human being, but it’s been a long time since he’s truly inhabited this body.
Jean orders that Kaeya move in with Albedo after a crisis leaves him a danger to himself. The two discover themselves through each other.

Summary
He eyes the kartoffelpuffer warily, and the smell makes his stomach churn. It was a childhood favorite of his, once upon a time, and family tradition that he ate it on his birthday. Inextricably, he has no appetite; but vows to do his breakfast justice for Adelinde’s sake anyways. At his desk he pours himself a cup of tea and cuts a bite of the food. It’s positively flavorless and the tea is like warm water, but he knows that’s not on Adelinde. He hasn’t been able to taste anything in two days.

It’s April thirtieth. Maybe things will be different.

Summary
He looks so… Diluc doesn’t know. Hollow isn’t the right word. Disturbed is understating it. He looks… sad, like a spark Diluc never noticed was there is gone and left a gaping cavity in its place. He’s lethargic, but maybe that’s just the meds. Off his game.
Diluc couldn’t have expected anything else. He expected worse, of course. And Kaeya is…
Kaeya is ashamed. Deeply and utterly so. It’s written in the blush on his cheeks and the way he averts his eyes when they brush too close to the subject of his assault. Diluc thinks they should talk about it, but.
Later.
Or: Kaeya is kidnapped. Diluc brings him home.
