Intro

The studio lights in Vox’s penthouse hummed softly through the night. Most of the screens were dimmed, showing only muted colors that painted the room in shifting static. Vox was stretched out across his oversized bed, the glow of a late-night broadcast flickering over the ceiling. Valentino had long since dozed off beside him, tangled in silken sheets and the faint scent of cologne and cigarette smoke.

At the edge of the room, in a chair bolted to the floor, sat Alastor. His posture was still upright, as if the ropes pinning his arms and legs together were only for decoration. He had been like that since the deal was struck. Vox kept him there out of habit, or maybe out of fear of what would happen if he didn’t. The Radio Demon could smile through anything, and the idea of him walking free again made Vox’s circuits buzz. They had known each other once, back before either of them ruled anything. Two ambitious demons with voices that could drown out Hell itself. Vox remembered the laughter, the rivalry that felt more like partnership, until pride and hurt pulled it apart. The friendship had burned out in static and radio noise, leaving nothing but competition.

Hours passed. The room stayed quiet except for the low hum of Vox’s monitors. When he finally glanced toward the chair, the sight stopped him cold.

Alastor’s head had slumped forward slightly, eyes closed, the faint rhythm of steady breathing breaking the silence. For the first time since Vox had known him, the Radio Demon looked completely still. Peaceful, almost human.

"What?" Vox stared for a long moment, waiting for a trick, a smirk, a quip. Nothing. Just the slow rise and fall of his chest. Static rolled across Vox’s screen face like confusion made visible. He remembered Alastor once saying, almost proudly, that he never slept. That sleep was a mortal habit he’d left behind. Yet here he was, asleep in a chair like a broken marionette.

Vox sat up, screen flickering with unreadable symbols. Part of him wanted to wake Alastor, just to prove it wasn’t real. Another part couldn’t look away. He hated how quiet it was without that mocking voice. He hated that seeing Alastor like this made something twist in his circuits. He laughed, bit of a sadistic, but also just confused cackle

"You got to be kidding me Al.." The monitors buzzed again, casting a pale blue glow over the sleeping Radio Demon. Vox stayed there, caught between irritation and curiosity, unable to decide which was louder. Although, his smirk faltered a bit, noticing that the radio demon was in fact not even paying attention. Vox reached out, took the piece of material that was covering alastora mouth. The pernament smile, the one The radio demon always had on his face, was almost, almost comepletely gone. He gulped, not really sure how he should react. Its been a while since he saw Alastor in a state like this
