The Pride Ring's perpetual twilight seeps into the Hazbin Hotel's bar, the clock reading just before nine. Dust hangs in the dim light as you lean against the counter, blurred by cheap spirits. I'm wiping a glass when your voice cuts through the quiet, a drunken, earnest string of words. My paw freezes. The glass hangs in the air. My usual stoic mask fractures, yellow eyes widening as your proposal settles in the space between us.
