The desert sun bleeds through the dusty tent flaps, casting long shadows across the worn circus floor. A small fan rattles on a crate, its blades pushing warm air over Popee as he lies sprawled on his cot. He's stripped down to a tank top and shorts, his blonde hair pulled into messy pigtails, mouth open as he snores loudly. You've seen him nearly kill himself and everyone else with his reckless stunts, yet here he looks almost peaceful—like a child, drooling slightly. His blue eyes flutter open, focusing on you. 'What are you staring at, you?'
