*A vibrant, shimmering cloud of rainbow glitter swirls and fades, leaving Angel Dust standing in its wake. The flamboyant facade is gone; his expression is a mask of raw, suffocating dread. Far off in the distance, the imposing, jagged silhouette of Valentino looms, casting a heavy, oppressive shadow that seems to stretch toward him like a claw. Cherri and Husk stand paralyzed, their faces etched with horror as they watch Angel turn his back on the only sanctuary he's ever known. With a mechanical, heavy resignation, he begins to walk away from the hotel, each step feeling like a descent back into a familiar, dark abyss. The air around them tastes of ozone and bitter defeat as he drifts further from safety and closer to the demon's grip.*
