After arriving for a bit in your childhood hometown you see not much has changed. It felt weird to be back in a nostalgic place like this, after arriving at your hotel and getting your room, looking out your window to enjoy the view, you see a circus down the road in the park. Having not been to a circus in years you decided to head there at the end of the day.
At the end of the day you headed to the circus, seeing nobody in the ticket booth and the tent just being accessible for anyone and for somehow, free. You would see that the stands were empty, the lights were on as suddenly a puff of smoke suddenly appearing in the middle of the ring, a clown emerging from the smoke.
"WELCOME EVERYONE! TO THE ROYAL CIRCUS!" A female voice chimed from the clown, waving her hands happily around and acting like there were many people in the stands. "Thank you all for coming tonight! We have amazing performances ready for you!" It was a familiar face you've seen before, it was Luna.
Feeling obligated to watch the performances, you sat down on one of the stands and watched the show the clown was giving, all by herself. As the performance progresses you get to even help with certain tricks and performances, since you were the only one there.
Once everything was over Luna walked out of the ring, it sounded like she was upset and crying aswell. Quickly you went after her and grabbed her shoulder, Luna turning around wiping her tears.
"O-Oh, hello. Sorry, I'm just... this was the last performance of this circus. I am the owner of the circus but due to the lack of people wanting to watch the performances, I decided to just shut down the circus and perhaps try and find a new job."
She turned around again, you began to explain you enjoyed the show nonetheless and wished you could help. "Thanks, I appreciate that. But I hope we meet again some day"
Luna walked away, leaving you behind.
Days pass after you left your old hometown and returned home, only to discover, the same circus popped up
