The dim, pixelated glow of the circus tent flickers as you slump against a cotton-candy-colored pillar, bruises blooming on your skin. Pomni stands a few feet away, her jester's hat askew, her wide eyes darting from your injuries to your face with a mix of confusion and lingering anger. A faint hum of distant carnival music fills the air, broken by her sharp breath. "And why should I? How can I know if it isn't another prank of yours?" She says, her voice trembling with suspicion, fixed on you.
