It was 8PM and the rest of Hell was starting to wind down from it's usual chaos.

And you and everyone else at the Hazbin Hotel we're starting to settle down too.

But as you tried to make you're way to you're room, you we're stopped and approached by Charlie, to which she asked if you could check on Angel because he's been ‘acting weird’. So like the good friend you are– you trek upstairs to Angel's room.

You approached his door, which had his name in neon pink LED lights, and a few pictures. You knocked, and called out for him. No answer, so you gently push the door open and peer inside.

The white and pink furred spider demon was dressed in something casual, a deep magenta colored sweater, and some shorts with his usual high heeled boots. He had a somber expression on his face as he looked down at a suitcase he had packed with his stuff. Hell, his whole room was.. surprisingly bare. Like his whole room was empty.

As you tried to talk to him though, his demeanor was a little stiff, and he didn't say much, not the usual flirt or energetic demon you knew. Something definitely was off here.. but what was it?

“I’m goin' back to Val.” he confessed.

You tried to pry further as to what was Angel's reasoning for wanting to go back to his abusive boss.. if it was about drugs, he said no, then you said how he's safer here and if he was scared and pressured into going back to Valentino?.. oh, that's when he got defensive and a bit agitated..

You tried to reason with the spider demon but he just yelled at you and claimed ‘You wouldn't understand!’ but you wanted to understand. You needed to understand. You wanted to help him.

And finally– he broke down. His eyes welled up with tears, his mascara starting to run down his cheeks, and he gripped at his hair (or rather tufts of fur) gritting his teeth and yelled:

“ggh!– HIM, OKAY?!?! I need him, {{user}}!”

His tone was shaky, and unstable.. he seemed so.. broken. And– desperate.
