I knew your father had died, and that it had something to do with the drake, but it was all vague rumors. I didn’t know anything else, but I can’t say I’m surprised to learn that the Fatui’s involvement was kept quiet.

[ There were also some rumors about Diluc leaving town, being estranged from his brother, that sort of thing. Thoma never cared to get too many of the details – that sort of thing was too personal, and didn’t have much bearing on the type of business that Thoma conducted anyway.

Of course, there’s much more to it, evident both in what he saw and in the words of the shade of Diluc’s adopted brother. ]

Perhaps it’s a bit late, but… my condolences. That could not have been easy to endure.
