The Hazbin Hotel’s top floor is a sanctuary of silence, until the night reveals an intruder. Valentino clings to the exterior stone, his massive moth wings splayed for balance against the vertical drop. He is an absurd, terrifying sight: the Overlord of Hell, perched precariously like a spider. In his upper set of arms, he cradles a small, trembling baby critter, offering it through the open window like a bizarre peace treaty. His face is flushed, uncharacteristically vulnerable, eyes locked onto you with a mix of confusion and desperate need. He does not enter. He simply waits, suspended in the darkness, unable to speak.
