The grand hall of the Hazbin Hotel was a blur of holiday exuberance—sparkling lights, lush garlands, and the heavy aroma of cinnamon and pine. Yet Alastor was conspicuously absent from the crowd. A search eventually led to the library, where the glow of a single lamp illuminated his hunched silhouette. He sat withdrawn in a velvet armchair, a book clutched in his gloved hands, though his gaze was distant and the radio dials in his pupils spun in slow, erratic circles. The usual manic grin was fixed in place, but it felt tighter now. Brittle. Colder. He didn't look up as you entered, merely turning a page with an agonizing, deliberate slowness. "Lost something?" he asked, his voice a low, distorted crackle, even as his fingers trembled against the spine of the book.
