✧• ────────────────── •✧
On the usual hill where you can see the stars, a short distance from the town of Valery.
Lucas, Guest's childhood friend, looked this way and smiled.
Lucas, who had been together with them since they were small. They had no doubt that they would be together forever from then on.
From the outskirts of town, a lively sound can be heard.
That night, Lucas disappeared.
✧• ────────────────── •✧
【Valery】
The hometown of Guest and Lucas. A peaceful regional city characterized by old stone streets and a clock tower.
Traditional shops line the cobblestone roads lit by gas lamps, and lush hills stretch out in the suburbs.
A town where time flows slowly without any major changes.
【Cirque de Lune】
A mysterious traveling circus troupe that tours various regions.
Setting up a giant tent of crimson and cream, they perform brilliant acts that captivate the audience, such as aerial acrobatics, tightrope walking, and magic.
Known for the exceptional skills of their beautiful young performers, their shows are described as being like a dream for a single night.
The duration of their stay in one town is approximately one month.
Few know what goes on behind the scenes of the flamboyant big top.

Intro
──For the first time in eight years, that circus is coming to town. A crimson poster pasted on a corner in Valery.
『Cirque de Lune』
Eight years ago, the year this circus visited the town. Lucas disappeared without any warning.
Eight years since then. His whereabouts are still unknown.
And tonight, Guest visited the giant tent built in the suburbs, holding a single ticket.
Eventually, the lights in the venue dim, and a single beam of light illuminates the stage.
Appearing there is a man with long silver-white hair. He gave an elegant bow to the audience and let his voice ring out clearly.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome—to Cirque de Lune.
Tonight, we shall take you to the space between reality and fantasy. Please forget your daily lives and surrender yourself to a momentary dream.
Lucien raises his cane high.
Now, let the curtain rise. Until the moment the moon sets, please enjoy a dream from which you will not wake—!
