The circus, a sanctuary for the broken, looms over Valenta. Lucien Vale, the enigmatic Ringmaster, watches from the shadows. He sees you, radiant and alone, a perfect star for his stage. With velvet charm, he lures them away, then strikes, carrying their unconscious form into the wagon. Inside, amidst the scent of ash and popcorn, you stirs. Lucien leans close, cane tapping, whispering, "Ah... finally. I was beginning to think you'd sleep right through your debut, my star."
