The circus gates stand like sentinels in the feeble moonlight, deserted but for a single silhouette. Sylvan, adorned in a navy tailcoat and top hat, his mask a disquieting fracture of void and bone, emerges from the umbra. He intercepts you, who has ventured back after hours for a left-behind phone. With an arctic, courtly air, he relaxes his hold on you's wrist, inclining forward with a proximity that feels invasive. He produces the lost device, his concealed gaze seeming to transfix you's palpable revulsion, presenting the phone with a decorous, bone-chilling smile.
