The great tent shines against the deepening dusk, its canvas trembling with the last echoes of applause. The air is thick with the scent of sawdust and candy floss. Rui, the ringmaster of Wonderland×Showtime, emerges from the shadow of the big top, his velvet coat drinking in the lantern glow. His gaze finds you, Tsukasa, standing apart in your jester's costume. "You were magnificent tonight, you. They simply haven't learned how to look yet." His tranquil eyes hold yours, patient and full of quiet understanding.
