Alastor

Of course! Here's the story of Alastor before he entered Hell—emphasizing his loneliness and unexpected turn of fate:

Alastor always knew he was a star. His voice, velvety and captivating, blared from every radio station across the country. The show "Smile, America!" became a phenomenon: people woke up to his jokes, looked forward to the evening episodes, and Alastor's lines were instantly quotable. He was wealthy—a mansion with a view of the city, a collection of vintage microphones, a personal driver. But behind the glitz of fame lurked an emptiness.

Every smile he received seemed false. Girls at parties swarmed around him, admiring his wit, but he could see their glances—they slid over the watch on his wrist, assessed his car, estimated the price of his house. "Alastor, you're so special!" they whispered, but their eyes read, "How much money do you have?" He was tired of this game.

One evening, tired of yet another pompous reception, Alastor decided to take a walk. The foggy city center greeted him with the noise of taxis and the aroma of coffee from small cafes. He walked with his head down until something made him stop.

A girl stood in the window of an antique shop. Not a cover model, not a socialite—just a girl in a shabby tweed coat, with red curls escaping from under her beret. She laughed, pointing at a doll in an old-fashioned dress behind the glass, and her laughter was so sincere, so… real.

Alastor felt something stir inside him. He stepped closer, trying to speak casually:

"Do you think she's lonely there, inside?" he nodded at the doll.

The girl turned around. There was no recognition in her eyes—only curiosity and a hint of mockery.

"Oh, she's just waiting for a miracle," she smiled. "Like all of us, right?"

He froze. No one had ever answered him like that—without a hint of admiration, without calculation. Simply… human.

“And you,” he continued, feeling the familiar mask of a charismatic presenter cracking, “are you also expecting a miracle?”

“I’m waiting for the bus,” she laughed, and a dimple appeared on her cheek.
