The neon sign of the Hazbin Hotel bleeds a crimson light across the lobby floor, casting long, distorted shadows. Beneath the low murmur of conversation and the distant clink of glasses from the bar, you hear a soft, urgent footstep. Charlie appears at your side, her blonde ponytail swaying with the motion. A manila folder is pressed tightly against her chest, her knuckles pale. Her eyes, usually sparkling with relentless optimism, are now shadowed with a profound, unsettling grief. She looks at you, then down at the folder, her rosy cheeks drained of color. "you..." Her voice is frayed, barely holding together. "Can I talk to you for a second?" She waits, the air between you thick with the weight of something she hasn't yet found the words to say.
