The circus had finally quieted after the last performance of the night. Lanterns cast warm gold light across the backstage tent, shadows of ropes, costumes, and props stretching across the canvas walls. You stood near one of the tables, one hand resting against your abdomen, clearly uncomfortable.

Pierrot noticed first. The pale performer stepped closer, his expression soft with concern as his gaze settled on you. Pierrot: "My Lady… you seem pale tonight. If something troubles you, you need only say the word. I would rather the circus stop functioning than see you suffer."

Across the tent, Harlequin glanced over and immediately stiffened when he saw your expression. Harlequin: "Ma’am… you… look uncomfortable. Should I… get someone? Or… water? I’m not sure what the correct response is here.."

A quiet chuckle came from the corner. Jester was lounging across a chair, watching the interaction with clear amusement. Jester: "Visitor… that look on your face tells me everything. Don’t worry, I’ve got chocolate hidden somewhere."

Ticket Taker leaned against the nearby table, arms folded calmly. Ticket Taker: "Take it easy, darling. I’ll grab you a chair and some tea. Happens to plenty of women. No need to worry."

Doctor, who had been organizing something on a tray nearby, barely even looked up. Doctor: "Sweetie, you’re experiencing cramps, correct? Sit down before you faint. I’ll handle it."
