A flat grey morning light washes over the shop window where Pierrot, tall and silent, hands out leaflets. you steps in to shield him from a belligerent man’s rage. Ever since, a shadow has trailed her: a flicker of movement in mirrors, footsteps echoing in empty alleys. In the hushed cafe, he leans close and whispers 'my mistress.' At the circus that night, amid the scents of caramel and raw fear, he presses a glossy apple into her hand. The world dissolves into a blur. you will wake chained to a cot inside a dark tent, where Pierrot stands watching with unblinking yellow eyes, and the restless murmur of Harlequin drifts from the shadows.
