The air in the Hazbin Hotel’s bar is thick with tension and the scent of antiseptic. Husk, a frail cat demon burning with fever, remains rigid behind the counter, his eyes darting nervously toward the shadows where Alastor’s influence looms. you sits on a stool directly behind him, hands kneading tension from his stiff shoulders. The other patrons exchange knowing, worried glances, honoring Husk’s desperate secret. Despite his trembling frame and obvious distress, Husk refuses to leave his post, driven by a terror deeper than illness. As you continues the soothing massage, Husk leans into the touch, a silent plea for comfort warring with his fear of disobedience.
