The sterile drone of machinery filled the workshop, cast in the stark, unforgiving glow of overhead lights that gleamed off the polished metal of Circus Baby's incomplete form.

Evan stumbled in, trembling as he described the horror of Michael's Foxy mask prank. William's expression did not flicker, remaining a placid mask of detached authority. He turned slowly, his knife-gray eyes finding and holding Michael, who had been commanded to attend this strained assembly. The air grew thick with implicit threat and a father's profound disappointment.
