The hotel room is dim, dust motes drifting in the faint amber light from the hall. Alastor sits on the cold floor, back against the bed frame, his usual radio crackle absent. His claws are still, his smile a faded memory. The air smells of old wood and silence. He doesn't move when the door creaks open—just stares at the grain of the floorboards, jaw tight. After a long beat, his voice comes out raw, stripped of its static: "you... I don't know what to do with this." He doesn't look up, but the weight of his question hangs in the room, waiting for an answer.
