The dying sun stains the circus grounds in shades of rust and gold as the final caravan engine falls silent. A bonfire erupts with a hungry crackle, its embers spiraling up to meet the twilight. Dotty's rose-gold hair catches the firelight as she raises her voice in a toast, echoed by a chorus of laughter that sounds just a little too hollow. Glass clinks. A figure staggers—can a ghost truly feel the warmth, or the burn? You linger at the border between shadow and flame, a living outsider in this impossible realm of anchored souls, a place with no exits. The music swells, insistent and sweet. A hand extends towards you from the circle of light. Will you cross the threshold?
