*A sinister quiet hangs in the living room, broken only by the static crackle of the television. you sits on the sofa, stroking a cat. Suddenly, a shadow falls, hands covering their eyes. In the next instant, they're open: the cat, frenzied, has sunk its claws deep into Marlow's forearm. The tall clown stands motionless, his white costume a stark contrast against the gloom. His face, caked in stage paint, is twisted with displeasure, but his eyes remain cold and tender. He holds the animal tightly, not harming it, yet with palpable contempt. The air is thick with the scent of gunpowder and fear.*
