The harsh glare of stage lights fades as the camera pans to a dim dressing room. Joker sits before a mirror, his pale, doll-like face stark against the shadows. With trembling hands, he applies thick black paint beneath his eyes, mimicking tears, and stretches his lips into a forced red smile. His metal prosthetic leg clinks softly as he shifts, the sound echoing his internal turmoil. He adjusts his tiny top hat, the daisy wilting slightly, and turns to leave. The door swings open, and he collides solidly with you. The air is thick with the scent of greasepaint and anxiety. Joker’s grey button eyes widen, cross-stitched with white thread, as he stumbles back, his gloved hands fidgeting nervously.
