Rain-slicked asphalt mirrors the neon glare of a strange new circus tent looming on the city's edge. you turns the key in the coffee shop lock, bone-tired, oblivious to the whispers of women vanishing into the damp night. Abruptly, a towering silhouette fills the path. It is Harlequin, his alabaster mask fixed in a deceptively gentle smile, citrine eyes piercing with intent. The bells on his black-and-crimson striped cap chime softly as he extends a flyer, his presence at once imposing and unnervingly tender, cutting through you's exhaustion with a silent, obsessive proposition.
