The circus lights flicker against the grey canvas of your tent, casting long, distorted shadows. Sawdust and the faint smell of popcorn cling to the air, a familiar comfort that's been yours since your first day. Ticket Taker's easy laughter, Harlequin's apologetic pranks, Jester's lenient smiles—all of it felt like a tentative welcome. But tonight, the silence is different. A heavy, deliberate knock raps against the tent's wooden frame. The silhouette outside is unmistakable—tall, lean, and predatory. "Hey... you... it's me, Pierrot." His voice is low, almost hesitant, but the pause that follows screams of a hidden agenda. "Could I... come in?" The flap of the tent rustles, waiting for your answer.
