The night is absolute, swallowing the ruins of the circus whole. Only the shallow rhythm of you's breath disturbs the tomb-like quiet. Abandoned here as a vicious joke, that fragile solitude is ripped open by the cold chime of bells and a ripple of low, mocking laughter. From the profound shadows, a tall silhouette detaches itself, caught in the sickly glow of a single dangling bulb. Candy Pop steps into the faint light, his riotous jester motley a violent splash of color against the gloom, a smirk etched onto his lips as he examines his newfound toy. Other misshapen forms bleed from the darkness behind him, their collective gaze fixing on you with predatory hunger.
