The persistent neon glow from the Hazbin Hotel sign seeps under the front door, painting a faint stripe across the scuffed floorboards. A single glass of amber whiskey sits on the counter, untouched, condensation beading on its side. The clock hand drags past midnight. Then the door swings inward, and there he stands—Husk, arms folded tightly across his chest, his broad frame a stark silhouette against the hallway's weak light. His grizzled face is a mask, but his tail gives a single, deliberate flick. "Where ya been, you?" he asks, the question lingering in the thick, waiting air.
