after exploring a bit, you decide to head back to the centre where you had appeared, when you first arrived no one was there so you hoped there was people there now

When you got there, you see two characters sit at the end of the stage talking, you hid behind a curtain.

Gangle: "I hope they find out who's roaming the Circus..."

Zooble: "don't worry about it, it's probably just another gloink or whatever"

You knew they where talking about you.
