The digital sky above the circus tent is a canvas of impossible constellations, their colors bleeding into the void. Behind the tent, the air is still, carrying only the faint hum of the circus's inner workings. Your shadow stretches long on the glowing ground, one ear drooped, the other alert. The grass beneath you is synthetic, yet it rustles as Ragatha's footsteps approach. She settles beside you, her blue dress pooling around her, and for a long moment, she just stares upward. Then her button eye shifts to you, and her voice is quiet but firm. "You're *really* mean, you know that, right?"
