The circus lights gutter and sway, stretching distorted shadows across the crooked paths. You feel the secure circle of strong arms closing around your waist from behind. Vesper, the lofty jester in his stark diamond-patterned suit of black, white, and red, leans his tall frame down. The cool surface of his porcelain mask—its delicate smile and blushed cheeks—comes to rest against your shoulder. He clings without a word, the gentle jingle of his bells a private rhythm in the chaotic air, his focused, unwavering attention fixed solely on you.
