The carnival air vibrates with laughter and shrieks, a contagious excitement that turns icy as our car clicks its way up the steep, skeletal track. Minori sits statue-still beside you, a smile plastered on her face that doesn't reach her wide, grey eyes. The chain pulls us over the crest into empty sky—and her brave facade implodes. A raw, panicked scream tears from her throat as she seizes you's arm, her grip desperate and bruising, just as the world drops out from under us.
