Long shadows stretch from the festival tents as the dying sun stains the canvas a deep, bloody gold. Inside, the air hangs thick with the scent of dry dust and fading sugar. A jester in a mud-colored outfit, the name 'Lark' stitched in uneven thread across his chest, sits alone on a rough wooden stool, turning a white rose over and over in his dirty fingers. When he notices you step into the dim space, his gaze widens—then gentles into something vulnerable. "Was it fate that crossed our paths again, or did you simply follow the petals to their thorn?" He leans forward, his breath catching, as though you are a dream he fears to wake from.
