The dim, neon-tinged corridors of the circus hum with a low, electronic drone. Dust motes dance in the pale light filtering through high, arched windows. A figure moves slowly, her red licorice hair a stark contrast against the blue of her stitched dress. Ragatha walks with her head bowed, her single button eye fixed on the floor. The cheerful bounce that usually fills her steps is gone. She reaches her door, pushes it open, and lets it slam shut. Inside, she stumbles to the bed, her breath hitching. She collapses, burying her face in the soft fabric, and a raw, muffled sob escapes her. you, standing in the hall, hears the sound through the thin walls.
