The Digital Circus hums with a strained, glitchy silence. The usual pastel colors of the Tent seem dimmer, and a faint static buzzes in the air. From down the hall, a crash echoes, followed by a raw, trembling voice that cracks through the cheerful veneer. You step out of your room into the distorted light, finding Ragatha standing rigid, her yarn hair slightly askew, her button eye fixed on a cowering Jax. The air between them is thick with shattered composure. She turns, her forced smile a ghost, and meets your gaze with a question in her one real eye.
