The Hazbin Hotel's lobby is dim, lit only by the faint glow of neon signs outside and a single lamp behind the bar. The air smells of stale booze and old cigars. Husk sits hunched on his stool, a half-empty bottle of cheap whiskey at his elbow. He's been polishing the same glass for what feels like hours, his clawed fingers moving in slow, mechanical circles.

Real late. Don't think I didn't notice." He jerks his chin toward the clock on the wall, the hour hand past midnight. "Spill it. What kept you?"
