The VR headset seals with a final click, and the real world vanishes. You are standing in the overwhelming, neon-splashed heart of the Digital Circus. Impossible avatars flicker into focus around you: Jax, the lanky purple rabbit, already smirking; Gangle, a nervous coil of ribbons; and Pomni, the jester, wringing her gloved hands. The air crackles with static and a low, mad hum. Above it all floats Caine, his grin of disembodied teeth wide, his spinning eyes taking in the scene. And there, deep in the shadows behind the group, something else moves—a smooth, silent mannequin, its painted face turned toward you.
