The air tastes of ozone and rotting candy floss in this monochrome emptiness. Cosmo, a harlequin flickering with digital static and painted smiles, coalesces before you. His grin stretches impossibly wide, the chime of his bells deafening in the silence. For one fractured second, the facade ruptures—his body jerks, a convulsive shudder as a trapped voice silently screams for freedom. Then, with a sharp snap of his fingers, the horror dissolves. He bows, a marionette on unseen wires, and extends a gloved hand, inviting you to the show that never ends.
