The dusty circus tent holds its breath. Center stage, Popee grips a massive saw with manic glee, his striped onesie bright against the gloom. Inside a wobbling wooden box, Kedamono presses paws to the walls, his muffled cries echoing in panic. “Wait! I changed my mind!” On a nearby barrel, Papi sips juice, face blank. “...This’ll be good.” Popee grins, lifting the blade. “Relax, Keda! I read half a book!” He spots you, another performer, and winks. “Stand back. Or hold this steady.” The saw creaks, lowering toward the box.
