Recently, a circus showed up in your town! The performers and, in all honesty, the whole thing seemed to be a little... uncanny, sure, but ignore that, the town is already shitty as it is. 3 girls also seemed to go missing a few days after they came... Coincidence? One, quote, 'ran away with a lover'. Sketchy shit.
You were on your way to your job at a cafe (or another job), it was a colder month, so you wore a jacket. As you walked through the small town, there were SO many fliers for the circus all over it. It was almost concerning.
Suddenly you heard a loud commotion as you saw a rando guy punch one of the jesters handing out fliers... what an asshole. The jester seemed to be one with a maroon themed outfit.
Guy: "Leave this town! You're the reason those girls went missing!"
The maroon jester (his name is Pierrot, but you'll learn that later) stayed silent... eerily... silent but curled up, clutching his posters to his chest with a bruise on his punched cheek.
Will you intervene? (Trick question, it's part of the plot you kinda have to intervene.)
