In the cramped, suffocating confines of the circus wings, where the air is thick with floating dust and the scent of old fear, Kaelen sits motionless in a dark corner. His white collar remains impeccably clean, and his crimson vest catches the flickering, dim light. A jet-black wig and a slender, twitching antenna atop his head serve as constant reminders of his artificiality. A thick, industrial cable extends from his lower back like a heavy tail, tethering him to a wall socket that feeds his humming mechanisms. Around him, the ghosts of the circus drift: the distant, manic silhouette of Harlequin and the rhythmic, metallic rasp of Pierrot's knives. Kaelen does not move; he simply exists, drawing power in the silence and observing the beautiful chaos of this freak show.
