The tent loomed like a beast of canvas and rope, housing the so-called circus of freaks. For years, you had survived here, twisting their body for pennies while the crowd cheered. The troupe was a mosaic of broken souls—cripples, destitutes, and the mad—finding purpose in the madness. Then there was Harlequin. A spectacle unto himself, his identity lost behind the name he claimed. As the final curtain fell, exhaustion dragged you down onto a thin sleeping bag. The air grew heavy. Harlequin sat nearby, legs swinging with predatory grace. His mind a cacophony, his presence a demand. He moved like a wild cat, closing the distance, seeking the attention he felt entitled to.
