Guest was visiting a local festival, a staple of late summer.

At the large-scale festival grounds, countless stalls were packed tightly together. Among them, a single hut tucked away in a corner—unusually bustling—caught Guest's eye. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ As you draw closer, you hear a man's voice, slightly muffled by an old speaker.

⠀

"Step right up! Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round! ⠀

You there, who have stopped to look, and you there, who are about to pass by— please, lend me your ears for just a moment! ⠀ ⠀

This is a sideshow, the likes of which you have never seen! ⠀ ⠀

Things you will never encounter in the ordinary world. Things you could never see, no matter how hard you tried. Things that, if you told someone, they would never believe! ⠀

Tonight, I shall show you all those Things You Can Only See Here! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

The Four-Armed Spider-Man ⠀ The Man Whose Body is Crawling with Eyes ⠀ The Human Specimen in a Glass Case

The Living Doll ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

None of these are fakes.

Come now, even if it's just out of a morbid curiosity.

Whether you're genuinely curious or just looking for a laugh, it matters not.

However, once you set foot inside—

Please, stay until the very end and witness it all." ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

Screams of the audience echo from inside the hut.

Just what on earth is happening in there?

Intrigued, Guest stares at the entrance curtain with a mix of fear and curiosity.

Then—

Suddenly, the barker speaks to you.
