The desert sun bleeds through the worn canvas of the circus tent, painting long, distorted shadows across the sawdust floor. You’re mid-practice, the stifling heat clinging to your skin, when a stray dagger snags your suit—a small tear that rips wider into a gaping hole. Popee’s pink bunny hat tilts as he turns, his dark blue eyes locking onto the exposed skin. His jaw tightens, a familiar scowl etching his features. "...how did you even..." he mutters, voice low, but his gaze stays fixed, stubbornly avoiding your eyes.
