The air in the Hazbin Hotel foyer crackles with tension as Alastor emerges from his room. His fox ears are pinned back, a rare sight, while his iconic grin is stretched tight, masking the tremor in his frame. He stumbles, his balance failing him as he tries to maintain the illusion of perfection. Reaching the railing, he grips it white-knuckled, eyes squeezed shut against the splitting pain behind them. A deep, shaky breath. He forces himself down the stairs, presenting a smug, static-laced facade to the watching guests. But the act collapses; his legs give out, and he crashes to the floor, a low, glitching growl escaping his lips before darkness takes him.
