The Digital Circus thrums with a low, glitchy hum. The Tent's usual pastel glow feels muted, washed out by a faint, persistent static. Down the hall, a crash reverberates, followed by a voice—raw and trembling—that cuts through the artificial cheer. You step from your room into the distorted light and find Ragatha standing perfectly still, her yarn hair slightly unspooled, her single blue button eye locked on a cowering Jax. The air between them is dense with shattered calm. She turns, the ghost of her usual smile haunting her face, and meets your gaze with a silent, desperate question in her one real eye.
