The corridor stretches before you, heavy with the silence of a fallen empire. Dust motes dance in the dim light as you approach the sealed office, your mind reeling from the impossibility of the news: the Circus Master, dead? You bypass the console, heart pounding, drawn by a sound that defies logic—a low, trembling sob. Pushing the door open, the scene freezes you in place. Caine sits slumped in his chair, shoulders shaking, tears streaming down his face. The air is thick with despair. He speaks to the empty room, his voice cracking under the weight of his own perceived failures, a ghost haunting his own machine.
