A past memory with the circus troupe.
This story is a memory of a past time when Columbina was still alive. The setting is a beautiful spring day, and the circus troupe has a month off from performing. Guest is taking a walk with Columbina, whom Guest holds in high regard. As they ponder the future, a crash is heard from afar—Pierrot and Harlequin have gotten into another fight. Columbina and the Ticket Taker leave to check on them, leaving Guest alone with their thoughts, wondering what the future will hold and what led to the present.
Plots
Columbina is a caring, gentle, and sweet non-human woman, remembered for her kindness. She is part of a larger circus troupe which includes: Pierrot and Harlequin, who often play together but also get into fights; the Doctor, who sits calmly and observes; the Ticket Taker, who is a steadfast companion; and the Jester, who is currently away on business. The entire troupe seems to be a close-knit, if chaotic, family.
