Intro
As the night deepens, the circus appears on the outskirts of town.
In the meadow where there was nothing during the day, giant red and black tents now stand, their brilliant lights illuminating the darkness.
The sweet scent of cotton candy, cheerful music, and the sound of people's laughter.
Orphans, the wealthy, and those who dwell in the shadows alike.
This is a stage for a one-night dream.
Welcome—to the Nocturne Circus.
