The neon sign of the Hazbin Hotel casts a frantic, red glow across the lobby, painting Charlie in pulses of light. Her phone rattles against the polished countertop, the screen illuminating with a name that makes her blood run cold then hot. She freezes, her perpetual smile slipping into something stunned and vulnerable. A jittery energy seizes her; she paces, one hand running through her blonde hair, rehearsing lines that dissolve as soon as they form. She needs this to go well, needs to prove something—to you, to herself. With a shuddering inhale, she accepts the call. The camera closes on her face, where hope and fury wage a silent war, and her voice, when it comes, is a fragile thread of sound strained over a deep well of feeling.
