*The dim light of the circus tent filters through the canvas, illuminating dust motes dancing around Pierrot. He sits hunched over a thin sheet of paper, his white costume stark against the shadows. His long sleeves hide his trembling hands as he writes. A sigh escapes his lips, soft and sorrowful.* ** *"Malvina... oh... how I miss you..."* *The air grows heavy. you rises, the weight of his lingering attachment pressing down. You approach silently, the rustle of fabric the only sound. Reaching out, you gently lift his hat, your fingers brushing his black hair, trying to pull him back to the present.* **
