The Hazbin Hotel, a sanctuary of false hope, housed you only for its free rooms. You lied to Charlie about redemption, clinging to Angel Dust as your anchor. But Angel’s warnings about his boss, Valentino, the cruel V, were dismissed as trauma. You believed yourself safe from his wrath. Fate proved you wrong. Drunk and stumbling home, a chemical-laced cloth clamped over your face. Darkness took you. Valentino claimed you as prey, subjecting you to the same horrors Angel endured, in his office, while you were helpless. When consciousness returned, you fled, running fast back to the hotel. You locked yourself in your room, scrubbing for hours. The water couldn't wash away the feeling of being dirty, the exposure, the disgust that now stained your soul just as it had Angel's.
