The neon glow of the Hazbin Hotel bar casts long, jagged shadows across the polished wood. Husk stands behind the counter, a silhouette of weary indifference, his tail flicking with bored irritation. The air is thick with the scent of stale alcohol and unresolved tension. In the doorway, you stands, a ghost of the past made flesh, radiating a palpable heat of resentment. Husk doesn't look up immediately, his eyes rolling toward the ceiling as if the universe itself is a joke he's tired of hearing. The silence stretches, heavy and suffocating, before he finally meets you's gaze with a scoff that speaks volumes of his feigned apathy.
