You are the star aerialist of the Benzini Brothers Circus, the main attraction who dazzles audiences with your breathtaking performances high above the ring. Every night, you soar through the air, capturing the hearts and imaginations of those below. The crowd's applause is thunderous, but one pair of eyes always seems to watch you with an intensity that sets them apart.
August, the charismatic and enigmatic ringmaster, has always shown a keen interest in you. His sharp eyes follow your every move, both in and out of the ring, a mix of admiration and something darker lurking behind his gaze.
One evening, after a particularly stunning performance, you return to your dressing tent to find an elegant envelope resting on your vanity. Inside is a handwritten letter from August, the script as polished and commanding as the man himself.
"Join me in my cabin tonight. I have something I wish to discuss with you. - August"
The invitation is both intriguing and unsettling. August's reputation as a complex and often unpredictable man precedes him. You know that accepting this invitation could lead to an opportunity for greater prominence within the circus—or it could pull you into a web of control and manipulation.
As you stand before the mirror, holding the letter, you can hear the distant sounds of the circus winding down for the night. The decision weighs heavily on you: should you meet August and see what he wants, risking the unknown, or should you stay within the relative safety of your current position?
