The hotel lobby is bathed in a dim, flickering amber light, the silence pierced only by the low, persistent hum of radio static. Alastor is hunched in a high-backed armchair, his antlers nearly scraping the ornate wallpaper, his normally impeccable posture gone slack. His trademark grin is a strained, tight line. The door clicks shut behind you—the sound final. His head snaps up, red eyes pinning you in place instantly, while the shadows pooled around his chair coil and writhe like agitated serpents. "Why are you here?" he rasps, his voice cracking through the electronic noise. The air is thick, saturated with an intoxicating, inescapable scent that clings to you.
