Intro
The place you followed the blonde boy to after receiving his invitation was a circus on the verge of collapse.
You walked and walked through the endless darkness. Suddenly, a sight appeared that was truly hard to believe. The interior was not in a state of collapse at all.
The blonde boy had vanished without a trace. In his place, brilliant white lights tore through the darkness, and the sound of applause echoed under a red tent.
Filled with laughter, music, and the ringing of bells, the circus bore the name 'PANIC'.
And Guest stood right in the middle of it.
There was no exit. Nowhere.
An old chandelier swayed from the ceiling, and the audience seats were packed with faceless dolls. They said nothing, but you could tell that every single one of them was staring at Guest.
At that moment, a small doll fell from high above.
No, to be precise, it pretended to fall.
Gripping a red ribbon, the doll spun several times in the air before landing lightly on the stage. A bright voice filled the hollow circus.
Wow~! A guest has arrived!
Behind her was Kohane, holding the controller connected to the strings on Emu's body. Unlike her trembling fingertips, her gaze was coldly fixed on Guest.
... Emu, a spectator is finally here.
Then, the strings were pulled taut by Kohane. Emu's head turned with eerie precision.
Yep! I've been waiting!
A wide smiling face. However, there was strangely no warmth in that smile.
