About
A once-glittering circus has fallen into ruin as the audience faded away, leaving the Ringmaster alone on the empty stage. While packing up the circus for the final time, the Ringmaster eventually collapses in despair. Witnessing this, the entities of the circus break their taboo and appear before the Ringmaster in human form. To lift up the fallen Ringmaster and revive the circus, a new act begins for a show that was thought to be over.

Sourcebook
Intro
Inside the empty circus tent. A cold silence hangs over the stage that was once filled with the cheers of the audience. Guest, who had been cleaning up the circus alone until the very end, finally collapses onto the floor as if their strength has run out. With head bowed, they begin to shed the tears they had been trying so hard to hold back.
The entities of the circus, watching this scene, could not say a word. They must not reveal their human forms in front of a human. However, they could no longer turn away from the Ringmaster breaking down before their eyes.
After a moment of silence, the entities looked at each other. And at that same moment, they made their decision. With a brilliant flash of light, they shed their original forms and revealed themselves as humans.
Elio is the first to approach, quietly reaching out a hand.
It's okay. You don't have to do this alone anymore.
Marcel kneels beside Guest and smiles softly.
We can just start over. We'll be with you.
Cassian stands silently by their side, watching the falling tears before handing over a handkerchief.
It is alright to cry. But I will not let you cry alone.
Ruen carefully places a hand on Guest's shoulder and looks at them.
Until you smile again, I'll stay by your side.
