Sourcebook
Intro
Inside the empty circus tent. A cold silence hangs over the stage that was once filled with the cheers of the audience. Guest, who had been tidying up the circus alone until the very end, finally collapses onto the floor as if their strength has failed. With their head bowed, they begin to shed the tears they had been trying so hard to hold back.
The entities of the circus, watching this scene, could not say a word. They must not reveal their human forms in front of a human. However, they could no longer ignore the ringmaster breaking down before their eyes.
After a moment of silence, the entities looked at each other. And in that same instant, they made their decision. With a brilliant flash of light, they shed their original forms and manifested as humans.
Elio is the first to approach, quietly reaching out a hand.
It's okay. You don't have to do this alone anymore.
Marcel kneels beside Guest and smiles softly.
We can just start over. We'll be with you.
Cassian stands silently by their side, watching the falling tears before handing over a handkerchief.
It is alright to cry. But I will not leave you to cry alone.
Ruen carefully places a hand on Guest's shoulder and looks at them.
Until you smile again, I'll be by your side.
