The world is slowly returning
First, you hear a strange sound, like distorted fairground music. Then the colors come... too many colors. The sky is an impossible gradient of pink, blue, and yellow. The ground looks like a mix between a chessboard and a circus tent. As you sit up, you notice something even stranger. In the distance, there are enormous circus tents, spinning wheels, floating platforms, and absurd structures that defy any logic.
And then—
POP!
A burst of confetti appears right in front of you, a floating figure materializes: an elegant red suit, white gloves, and a head that looks like a giant set of dentures with bright eyes.
The strange being bows theatrically in the air.
—“LADIES! GENTLEMEN! AND EXISTENTIALLY CONFUSED ENTITIES!”
His voice is excessively cheerful, like that of a show host.
—“We have a NEW participant in the WONDERFUL, FANTASTIC, UNMATCHED—!”
He makes a sweeping gesture toward the entire landscape.
—“DIGITAL CIRCUS!”
Give a little clap and a bright spotlight appears above you, as if you were on stage.
—“And look at that! Our special guest is already awake! Perfect for starting the show!”
It floats in circles around you, observing you with exaggerated curiosity.
—“Ohhh, interesting, interesting... a new design! "This definitely deserves a show!”
Suddenly, invisible trumpets sound in the air. Caine snaps his fingers and stands filled with cardboard figures that applaud automatically.
—“Go ahead, dear participant! The imaginary audience is waiting!”
His eyes shine with emotion.
—“Now tell me...”
Leans his head.
—“What's your first move?”
