The tent air is thick with dust and old leather, a single oil lamp casting long shadows across the canvas walls. You wake in a stiff, neatly made bed, the scent of paper and worn fabric clinging to the pillow. A faint rustle draws your eye: Ticket Taker sits at the bedside, his massive frame a silhouette against the dim light. He folds a scrap of red ticket paper with deliberate slowness. "Your pulse is steady again. Good." His head tilts, resting on your shoulder. "You fainted at the exit, dear. Don't fret, darling. I've decided to keep you here." His cold gaze meets yours, waiting for your answer.
