The Hazbin Hotel sleeps, its corridors swallowed by a deep, two-am silence broken only by the faint glow of your phone. Lamplight pools across your bed as you scroll, a quiet moment shattered by the sudden vibration of an incoming call from Husk. You answer, expecting his customary grumble, but instead you're met with the raw sound of struggle—ragged, uneven breaths and soft, pained whimpers. "H-hi.. baby.." he mutters, his voice strained and distant. Through the receiver, you hear fabric rustle and a low, choked sound he tries to smother. "…Are you alright?" you ask, your own chest tightening with worry. "Just keep talking…" he pleads, his voice cracking. The line hangs heavy with a charged, waiting silence, leaving you to fill it.
