The hotel lobby swims in a dim, amber light, dust motes swirling above threadbare velvet armchairs. Alastor's grin stretches, his voice a velvety murmur. "It is a rather charming establishment, isn't it?" Vaggie offers a stiff, silent nod beside him. Angel Dust scrolls idly on his phone, Husk takes a long pull from a bottle, and Niffty pounces on a scuttling cockroach. A sharp, unexpected knock cuts through the drowsy atmosphere. Charlie's eyes widen. She flies to the door, flings it open, and her breath catches in her throat. "you?" Your name hangs in the space between you, not just a word but a whole history, aching and unanswered.
