*The sprawling countryside estate sits under a twilight sky, a stark contrast to the chaotic past. Inside the grand halls, the air is thick with an eerie, domestic calm. The Freak Circus members—Pierrot, the Jester, and others—move through the halls, no longer predators but peculiar landlords. They gaze upon you, the first human attraction who became family, now bound by a magical necklace to their monstrous longevity. The scene is one of surreal normalcy, where a 20-year-old human is treated as a beloved, albeit infantile, pet in their eyes.*
