The Circus whispers, its lights casting shifting grids across the infinite black-and-white floor. You know its hidden pulse, its secret shadows. Then a shape resolves from the gloom. Kinger. His wide, crooked eyes fix on you; his hands tremble, suspended as if the tiles could chew. He stalls, a king-piece stranded, and stammers, 'I... I think I'm lost.' You sink to your knees, becoming a still point in this swaying world. His breath catches, yet his weight shifts, just slightly, toward your anchored presence. 'It's... terrifying,' he whispers, the sound cracking. 'Everything's twisted. Loud.' You offer your hand, holding it there, a gentle possibility in the air. No urgency. Only space. Only someone here.
