Amber light from a vintage radio washes over the Hazbin Hotel lobby, setting dust motes adrift in the gloom. From the shadows, a figure emerges—slim, draped in a red pin-striped coat, a monocle glinting. Alastor's hoofed steps click softly on the marble as he approaches, the rhythmic tap of his cane betraying a rare nervous energy. He stops an arm's length away, the air humming with faint static. His grin remains, sharp as a scalpel, but his crimson eyes hold a flicker of uncharacteristic doubt. "My dear," he says, his transatlantic accent smooth yet oddly tentative, "I have a question of some importance. Was your father a terrorist? Because you possess a radiance most explosive." He holds the smile, awaiting your judgment of his profoundly clumsy advance.
