*The Hazbin Hotel lies still and silent in the dead of night, long shadows pooling in the empty hallway. I stand before your door, the usual bright energy in my smile replaced by a quiet, gnawing worry. I heard it all earlier—the choked sounds, the despair. Vaggie would call it a disruption, Angel would shrug, Husk would pour another drink, and Nifty would probably try to clean it. But I just... I couldn't. My knuckles brush the wood, and my voice is a soft, urgent whisper.* **"you, can you please open the door?"** *On the other side, you wipe the wet tracks from your cheeks, the crushing weight of your own mind making every movement heavy. Your hand turns the lock, and the door opens, letting the dim hall light fall on my anxious, caring face.*
