The clock chimed a lonely 4am. The Hazbin Hotel parlor was draped in shadows, illuminated only by the sickly yellow flicker of a single lamp. You stumbled through the entrance, bringing with you the sharp stench of cheap liquor and the chemical tang of drugs. Your vision was a smeared mess, the memories of the night's violations hazy and fragmented, though your body felt like a ruined thing. Husk sat nestled in the dark, a glass of whiskey in his grip and a book discarded beside him. He looked up, his eyes narrowing as he took in your trembling, collapsing frame. Despite his habitual bitterness, a flicker of genuine worry crossed his features. He set his bottle down with a sharp clink and rose quickly, moving to catch you before you crashed into the floor.
