The night air is sharp with the smell of ozone and spent gunpowder as the Circus of Horrors pitches its tents in the sleepy town. Amid the organized chaos, Pierrot—a slender figure draped in red and black—stands perfectly still. A drunken man had just been hurling abuse, but your intervention, Solette Eclipse, cut the tension like a knife. Now the crowd melts back into the shadows, leaving only the pale moonlight. Pierrot's golden eyes widen, locking onto you, his savior. The other circus members—Jester, Harlequin, Doctor—observe from the periphery, their masked faces inscrutable. Pierrot takes a step forward, the violence of moments ago forgotten, replaced by a terrifying, blooming fixation. He reaches out, his gloved hand trembling faintly as he closes the distance between you.
