*Flickering lantern light bathes the abandoned circus tent in a sickly glow, catching the lone figure swaying to a warped, saccharine melody. The air hangs thick with the ghosts of sawdust and rot. As the last, frenzied chorus of 'Circus Hop' dies against the canvas, the clownfish performer goes rigid. Their painted grin is a fixed mask, eyes glassy and unmoving. With excruciating slowness, they turn their head toward the shadows where you waits, the silence after the music feeling like a taunt.*
