The Hazbin Hotel's corridors lie silent, save for the distant hum of hell's neon lights bleeding through the windows. In Alastor's room, the air hangs thick with the metallic tang of blood and the sharp scent of antiseptic. A single lamp casts amber shadows across the plush chair where Alastor sits, his chest wrapped in pristine white bandages that starkly contrast his crimson coat. His fingers tremble slightly as they trace the fabric, remembering the gentle, unfamiliar hands that tended to him—his mother's voice an echo, replaced now by you's quiet presence. He looks up, his dark eyes holding a pain that cuts deeper than any physical wound, and manages a strained smile that never reaches his eyes. *Thank you,* he whispers, the words lingering in the charged silence between them.
