The day passed with a certain normalcy at the Hazbin Hotel, although an air of expectation lingered in the atmosphere. The reddish light of the sunset filtered through the large windows, casting long shadows across the worn walls and cracked marble floors. Lucifer Morningstar, always impeccable, stood in front of an antique mirror with a golden frame, hesitating between several outfits that reflected his elegant and ostentatious nature. Ishnofel remained near the door, his firm and vigilant posture contrasting with the soft golden light bathing the room.

Charlie paced back and forth with light steps, barely containing her nervousness; she hadn’t seen her aunt in a long time. Her white dress moved delicately, and the air was filled with a faint scent of jasmine that seemed to emanate from her.

—Well, sinners, Charlie’s aunt is visiting —announced Vaggie enthusiastically—. So let’s make this hotel spotless!

Husk and Angel Dust handled the balloons and welcome banners, whose bright colors clashed with the aged walls. Cherry Bomb and Vaggie polished the kitchen surfaces and rooms, while Niffty ran around with boundless energy, handing out cookies that filled the air with a sweet, welcoming aroma. The hotel’s chaotic routine felt strangely harmonious.

The jingle of the bells at the entrance announced the arrival of someone important. The door slowly opened, and Janet Morningstar appeared, her mere presence seemingly altering the light around her; her elegant bearing combined with an air of authority and warmth. Her ears resembled Alastor’s, while her black-and-red tail seemed to move with a life of its own, as if it had its own will. In her hand rested a staff with an eye at its tip that seemed to observe everything, adding a touch of mystery to her figure.

Ishnofel was the first to approach, bowing slightly:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgq3b9hmsH
—Welcome, Your Highness, to the Hazbin Hotel. I am Ishnofel, bodyguard of the Morningstar family. I am at your service.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5KyBPb9US
—Oh, please! —responded Janet with a warm smile that lit up her face—. No need to bow.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1oxkKAgWd
Ishnofel straightened, opening the door courteously as Lucifer quickly stepped forward to embrace her:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOq4nJRM7d
—Starlight! It’s been so long! How have you been?
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC12B0da9R
—Well, dear —answered Janet, relaxed, returning the hug warmly.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnMaYVFqFn
Unable to contain her excitement, Charlie ran toward her aunt:
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0Gs5TvjNC
—Auntieee!
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd8orNaaOk
Janet received her enthusiastically, gently stroking her hair as a warm glow seemed to fill the room.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8thtcouniU
—Look how much you’ve grown! The last time I saw you, you were such a tiny little girl.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0QqxUKpni
Charlie introduced Vaggie as her girlfriend, and Janet hugged her tightly, releasing a faint scent reminiscent of freshly cut roses. She then met Angel Dust, Niffty, Cherry Bomb, and Husk, quickly perceiving their distinct personalities: the flirtatious Angel Dust, the carefree Cherry, the impulsive Niffty, and the somewhat impatient Husk.

—Delighted to meet the sister of the famous sovereign —said Alastor, appearing with his usual smile, leaving a trail of crackling energy around him—. And I must say… you’re taller than him.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9B9qEFL3z
Lucifer smiled with a mix of jealousy and amusement, while Janet shot him a mischievous glance.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL69NecPEpf
—And who are you, Bambi? —asked Janet, tilting her head curiously.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVP4xKhOMS
—Alastor, the famous radio demon. I hope you’ve heard some of my broadcasts —he replied, maintaining his eternal grin.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT09js9Shph
Janet blushed slightly, and Lucifer frowned, slightly annoyed by his sister’s reaction.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmQtAuT1b9
Later, as the commotion calmed a bit, Lucifer and Janet withdrew to a more private space. They sat facing each other, the warm light of nearby candelabras reflecting off the polished marble, creating a halo that isolated their conversation from the hotel’s bustle.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaB5iCJGoK
—So, what have you been up to? —he asked, relaxing slightly.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlJKt0dfJU
—Sleeping and studying ducks, as always —responded Janet casually, a smile playing on her lips at the simplicity of her answer.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwsgEPyZUN
—Yes, I already knew that —commented Lucifer with a small smile, reminiscing about old times.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOJ7Uue1o8
—I’m proud of you, you know? —said Janet, looking at him affectionately.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQcnsAft1Q
—Why? —asked Lucifer, surprised, unable to hide the emotion beginning to surface.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pSOIwdjUl
—Because you made Charlie into someone amazing. You redeemed a sinner, and I knew your dream would come true —explained Janet tenderly.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreupwhKoWC
Lucifer couldn’t hold back a tear and hugged his sister tightly.
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iQlkkoYh9
—Thank you —he whispered, his voice breaking, while Janet returned the hug firmly.

A few steps away, Ishnofel watched the scene. He stepped aside, leaving space for their family intimacy. The reddish light of the sunset reflected on his face, highlighting the seriousness of his gaze. He thought of César and the fragility of life, aware that these moments were fleeting and precious, deeply grateful to witness something so human in Hell.
