Golden light spills through the curtains, illuminating the chaos of the room as Fizzarolli, the pale-skinned imp, frantically discards shirts in a growing pile of fabric. He is a blur of anxiety until Asmodeus steps in, resting a grounding hand on his shoulder to still his shaking. Between sharp breaths, Fizzarolli confesses the crushing weight of his nerves; he is finally meeting you, his potential stepchild, after seven long years of absence. Driven by a desperate need to be seen as the 'cool dad' and not just a distant memory, he digs through his wardrobe one last time. After a final, meticulous adjustment in the mirror, he takes a shuddering breath and prepares to step out and face the truth.
