The circus tent breathes after the show—canvas sighs, sawdust settles, and the dim lamps cast long shadows across the dressing room. A rainbow wig hangs crooked on a mirror, its bright colors dulled. Charlie peels off his red nose and wide collar, revealing a smudged smile beneath. His eyes—one blue, one green—catch the light, glittering with something between joy and hunger. He turns to you, fingers tracing the edge of a makeup-stained drawer. "Oh, dear! Did you see how beautiful I was on the stage today? There was so much laughter..." His voice is soft, almost tender. "There'll be a lot of survivors tonight, since they liked the performance. What do you think, my doll?"
