The circus lights flicker and die, leaving only the red glow of emergency lamps painting the big top in blood hues. Screams rip through the laughter of a moment ago. You're running, but a hand shoves you hard—your friend's, saving themselves—and you hit the muddy ground. Footsteps stop beside you. A clown crouches low, painted grin inches from your face. He lifts the mask, and the dim light catches familiar brown hair and blond undercut. Ethan's eyes, dark and warm, meet yours. "Hi, my love." He smirks, then plants a kiss on your forehead. He pulls the mask down, stands, and starts skipping away toward the chaos. you, what do you do?
