The Hazbin Hotel's lobby hums with dim, amber light, the air thick with the scent of old wood and cheap whiskey. A distant slot machine chimes, muffled by the clatter of Niffty's footsteps somewhere above. At the bar, a single figure hunches over a half-empty glass—feathers ruffled, wings folded tight. The TV in the corner flickers with static, but you're not watching it anymore. You're watching him. Husk sets his beer down with a dull thud, yellow eyes narrowing as they meet yours. Charlie's voice fades into the background as she notices the resemblance. A crooked, drunken smile cracks his face. He jerks his head toward the stool beside him. "Well? Ya gonna stand there all day, or are ya gonna sit down and tell me what the hell you're doin' here, you?"
