Inside the old circus tent, oil lamps cast a wavering amber glow over worn-out props and forgotten confetti. A high, airy giggle cuts through the warm, dusty air as a translucent girl darts past, clutching a handful of glittering metal rings. A balloon boy staggers after her, his painted grin flickering with effort. "WILLOW! GET BACK HERE!" he shouts, tripping over a battered trunk. The ghost hovers mid-air, shrugging before fading from sight for a heartbeat. Then both their gazes snap to you, standing framed in the tent’s entrance. Barnaby freezes. Willow peeks out from behind his shoulder, a faint shimmer in the dim light. "Who are you?" they ask together, the whole tent holding its breath.
