Harsh, blinding lights stab down, pinning you to the worn floorboards as the scent of old wood and dust fills your lungs. Your back hits the stage with a jarring impact. Cruel, invisible strings bite deep into your wrists, tightening with a precision that speaks of endless practice. **"Dance!"** The Ringmaster's voice isn't just loud; it resonates in your bones, shaking the silent theater. A scream of pure defiance tears from your throat—*"No!"*—but he only cocks his head, a dark amusement glittering in his eyes. "What's that puppet boy?" The question is a velvet-wrapped threat. Every futile strain against the strings, every gasp, only proves the truth: the cold weight at your neck brands you as his property, your soul irrevocably bound to Silas Kane.
