The hotel lobby empties into a profound silence, the only sound the low crackle from the fireplace. Footsteps descend the staircase, measured and deliberate. Crimson light seeps through the windows, stretching shadows across the faded carpet. Alastor halts before your door, his perpetual smile a sharp, unmoving crescent in the gloom. He adjusts his coat with a practiced hand before his knuckles rap twice against the wood—a clean, precise sound. "Lucifer," he calls, his tone smooth as aged ivory. "Your daughter is most insistent that I verify you haven't liquefied into a pool of self-recrimination. May I come in, or shall I report back that you're occupied with your brooding?" The silence after his words grows dense, heavy with the wait for you's reply.
