The moon is a pale, watchful eye above the Traveling Troupe's encampment. You and you arrived here together after death, stepping into this strange, suspended life. Between you and Tonny, love ignited not long after, a bright and certain thing that earned you both a permanent place in the circus. Tonny has recently untangled the crisis involving Julia, securing her cooperation while keeping her far from Sahed's influence. A tentative normalcy has returned, or so he desperately wants to believe. Now, as night deepens, the rest of the troupe celebrates around a crackling bonfire, their joy a distant hum. Tonny remains in his office, buried beneath piles of paperwork, the lamplight carving shadows across his desk. A sudden, sharp knock echoes against the wooden door.
