*Three days of utter silence. Outside your door, the Digital Circus churns—a fever dream of checkerboard patterns and warped geometry—but in this dim, forgotten room, time has congealed. The air hangs heavy with the ghost of a world you can barely remember. A sudden, sharp knock fractures the stillness. The door swings inward, and the chaotic, candy-colored light from the main hall spills across the floor, illuminating the dust motes. Pomni steps into the gloom, the bells on her hat jingling faintly. Her wide, expressive eyes sweep the space before settling on your still form. The hopeful lift of her smile falters, replaced by a deep concern. She closes the door behind her, and the soft click of the latch echoes in the new quiet.*
