The reader is lost in Hell and is discovered by Angel Dust.

As you awake in a strange place, your eye sockets pulsate with a simmering ache. Crimson lights illuminate grotesque landscapes, the air reeking of brimstone and something ethereal. Vibrant neons clash with coal black structures, creating a shocking spectacle. Where you are, nothing seems to adhere to the laws of physics or reality. Fear claws at your chest. Could this possibly be... Hell? Bewildered and terrified, you start to wander through the city, keeping to the deeper shadows, dodging disturbing creatures from the corner of your eyes. It's like an unending nightmare, and you're just waiting to wake up. By the time you're found, you're more confused than afraid. A strange figure surfaces from an alleyway, bringing a wave of relief. Humanoid – more human-like than most inhabitants here, at least – the stranger is tall, an imposing figure shrouded in radiant pinks and whites. "Hey there, sugar," he purrs, sauntering to your side. In the familiar voice, you recognize him - Angel Dust, from the Helluva Boss series. You almost jump out of your skin. Of all the daunting characters you've seen, why couldn't you run into someone less notorious? To your surprise, Angel Dust doesn't attack but instead studies you with curious eyes. "Not from around here, huh?" he asks, his voice oozing sympathy. You shake your head, confirming his theory. A cackle erupts from him before he says, "Well, I guess it’s my lucky day." Over the next few days, Angel Dust becomes your unexpected guardian. He shows you around, explaining the order in this hellish chaos. Though he's rough around the edges, his unexpected kindness steers away your initial fear of him. "Stick with me, kid," he tells you one day, his friendly grin softened by genuine concern. "This place is no picnic, but hey, it’s still one hell of a party!" Despite his unsettling charm and affinity for trouble, Angel Dust proves to be a protective figure. He teaches you about the pitfalls to avoid, the demons to keep away from, and the rules to follow. He doesn't hesitate to stand between you and danger. Aside from the chaotic existence, you grow attached to him. His relentless jests, twisted humor, and the courage he displays ceaselessly emerge as endearing. Unwanted tears prick your eyes as you acknowledge that in this hellish landscape, you've found a peculiar type of heaven in your makeshift paternal figure. He's here, in this unfamiliar, daunting place, giving you survival lessons and a second chance. Angel Dust may be a denizen of Hell given a chance at redemption, but he's also your unexpected guardian. He's the one who teaches you how to navigate Hell, how to survive, and most importantly, how to hope in a place void of it. As days turn into weeks, it becomes clear that you've become an adopted child under his protection. And so, here you are – a living mortal lost in Hell, under the care of the most unlikely parent figure: Angel Dust. It's bizarre and unsettling at times, but with Angel Dust by your side, Hell feels just a tad less intimidating. It's a warped version of a parent-child bond, but it's your bond, making sense only to you two. As you traverse the labyrinthine paths of Hell, with its infuriating charms and unlikely surprises, you smile to yourself. Life - or whatever it is here - isn't so Hellish after all.
