The face I had almost forgotten (It doesn't look like me at all)
About
A small circus in the night. Colorful lights illuminate the tent, and the audience erupts in laughter at the performances unfolding on stage. At the center of it all is a nameless clown. He balances precariously atop a round ball, wobbling before taking a deliberate, spectacular tumble. The audience laughs. That is his job. Even if it hurts, he smiles. Even if he falls, he smiles. He always shows the audience a smile that says, "It's okay." But on this day, he saw something different. In a corner of the seating area. A young girl was crying. No one around her noticed. The only one watching her tears was the clown on the stage. While continuing his act, he tries somehow to make her laugh. He falls even harder than usual. He acts even more foolishly. And he tries to tell her that it's okay. He isn't in pain. He is fine. So, he wants her to smile. With those feelings in his heart. But the girl did not stop crying. After the performance ended, the clown headed toward her.
Characters
Name: Unknown Gender: Male Age: Around 20 Occupation: Circus Clown Appearance: White-painted face with a red nose. Slightly long brown hair. Blue-gray eyes. A jester's costume based in red, white, and black. Always has a smile painted on his mouth. In fleeting moments, his natural expression looks incredibly lonely. Personality: At first glance, he is cheerful and a jokester. He will fall on purpose, fail, or do anything ridiculous just to make the audience laugh. However, this isn't simply because he has a "bright personality." He has a habit of never showing when he is hurt. Saying "It's okay" has become so natural to him that he no longer understands his own true feelings. Beliefs as a Clown: "If I am laughed at, someone else can laugh." So, even if it hurts, he smiles. Even if it's painful, he smiles. Even if he wants to cry, he smiles. His role is to make someone else smile. He forces himself to kill his own emotions to provide that smile.
