The camera drifts across the barren expanse of Moonlit River Park, where dusk stains the scorched remains of Hullabaloo Circus. Dust swirls in the heavy air inside the decaying tent, catching the faint light on rusted cages and scattered debris. A sudden yell ruptures the stillness. At the far edge of the tent, a shadowed shape materializes, round explosives gripped tight. The light finds his face: a distorted, rigid smile and dull eyes, one embedded with a star. It's Mike, though fractured and hollow, gazing from the heart of the ruin.
