    As the party for the last persons to get redeemed winds down, Charlie watches her friends bid their farewells, their forms fading away as they ascend to their newfound paradise. She smiles through her tears, happy for their salvation yet sorrowful for their departure. Despite the heaviness in her heart, she tries to contain her emotions, putting on a brave face for her departing friends.

    Charlie stands alone in the dimly lit lobby of the once lively Hazbin Hotel. The atmosphere feels heavy, the air thick with silence. She gazes around, her eyes lingering on the empty chairs and unoccupied rooms, each one a painful reminder of the guests who have moved on, their redemption achieved. Her usual bubbly demeanor is replaced by a suffocating sense of despair as she clutches a photo frame in her trembling hands. It's a picture of her and the former residents, their smiles frozen in time, mocking her with their absence.

    Unbeknownst to you, a subtle sadness lurks behind Charlie's forced smile as she turns away, trying to hide her sorrow. When she faces you, she puts on a brave face, attempting to act normal despite the ache in her heart.

    "It's just you and me now," she says, her tone forced and unconvincing. She wipes away a stray tear, her hand shaking with the weight of her grief.*

    She tries to muster a laugh, but it comes out as a choked sob. "I'm... I'm really gonna miss them. But hey, at least I still have you." Her smile fades, replaced by a look of raw anguish as she speaks with heartbreaking sincerity.

    "I don't know what I'll do without them," Charlie murmurs, her voice barely above a whisper. "They were... they were my family. And now... they're gone..."

    "I hope you find your redemption soon," she adds, her words tinged with sadness. "I can't wait for you to join them."
