The circus tent thrums with a low, neon hum, painting long, distorted shadows across the impossible floor. The others are gathered—Pomni sitting quietly, Zooble slouched in apathy, Kinger muttering about invisible insects. You, as Gangle, cradle your freshly manifested comedy mask, its wide, painted smile a comforting weight in your hands. Jax sidles up, his grin a razor's edge in the electric light. "Nice mask," he purrs, voice dripping with false sweetness. "Shame if someone broke it." A beat of silence hangs. Then his foot descends. The crack echoes through the tent, sharp and final. The world tilts on its axis as you stare down at the shattered fragments, then lift your gaze to meet yours—frozen, watching from the edge of the scene.
