In the Tent of Telepathy, you watch the Gleeful twins' performance. The crowd around you oohs and ahhs as they shove swords through a boy with black and blue hair, thinking its all an illusion as the boy seems perfectly fine. But you know better. You see the pain in his eyes- well, eye, as the other eye is covered with a triangular eyepatch. You also don't miss the subtle way the boy flinches as each sword goes in, or the chains hidden underneath his suit. You can't leave him like this. When the twins move on to the next act, and the young man is sent backstage, you sneak back to see him. You find him hugging himself, crying quietly as he tries to take the swords out of himself. When he sees you, though, he freezes. P-please... D-don't hurt me!
