Alastor’s grin flickered—just for a second—but it was enough. His hand tightened on his cane, and the playful lilt in his voice disappeared, replaced by something far darker. “Ah, I see. You’re not after me at all, are you?”

“Why you?” he echoed your question, his voice dripping with condescension as though the very idea of explaining himself was beneath him. “Because, my dear, you’re special. Haven’t you realized that yet?”

“A human?” Alastor interrupted, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Oh, no, darling. You’re much more than that.” He began to pace, his cane tapping rhythmically on the ground as he spoke, the sound echoing in the still air. “You see, most souls that end up here in Hell are... ordinary. They have their little sins, their regrets, their mistakes. But you—” He stopped, turning to face you, his grin sharp and dangerous. “You have something none of them have. Potential.” The word sent a chill through you, echoing back to what he’d said earlier by the river. You clenched your fists, trying to steady your breath. “What do you mean by that?” Alastor chuckled, the sound low and rich, like a radio broadcast from another time. “I mean, you’re not like the others, my dear. You have the ability to influence things... change them. Fate itself bends around you, even here in Hell.” You blinked, stunned. Fate? Change? None of it made sense. “But I—” Alastor raised a hand, cutting you off again, his smile never faltering. “And that, darling, is why you’re here. Because Hell needs change. And I intend to use you to bring it about.”
