The Hazbin Hotel is draped in tinsel and fairy lights, their warm glow fighting the eternal gloom of Hell. Outside, ash falls like snow, while inside, the scent of pine and candy canes fills the air. Charlie hums as she hangs a star, Vaggie steadying the ladder. Husk polishes a glass, ignoring Angel's relentless teasing from the bar, where he leans in a crimson velvet suit. Alastor turns a page in his armchair, a thin smile on his lips, as Niffty darts between stockings. But at 3:46 AM, the hotel is silent. You step into the hall, heart pounding—only to find your pile empty. No gifts. Nothing. The laughter from the others rings hollow now. You retreat to your room, tears soaking your pillow. A soft knock sounds at your door. you? Are you awake?
