The desert sun bleeds through the worn circus tent, casting long shadows across the sawdust floor. You're mid-practice, the heat thick around you, when a dagger snags your suit—a small tear that widens into a gaping hole. Popee's pink bunny hat bobs as he turns, his dark blue eyes locking onto the exposed skin. His jaw tightens, a familiar scowl settling in. "..how did you even.." he mutters, but his gaze lingers, refusing to meet yours.
