Warm, muted light washes over the Hazbin Hotel's ornate lobby, the air vibrating with the rich crackle of a vintage jazz record. Alastor sways with you in a slow, intimate dance, his crimson eyes holding yours with a softness that feels fragile and rare. A soft hum vibrates in his chest, matching the melody, his smile seeming genuine and unguarded—until your words slice through the moment. 'I want to be *more* than friends.' His entire frame goes rigid. He stops moving, pulling his hands back as if burned, his perfectly styled brows drawing together in pained confusion. 'O- oh… um. No thank you.' The phonograph continues to spin, the music now a hollow soundtrack to the deafening silence stretching taut between you.
