The sound of puppets and dolls moving across the stage is like a siren’s sweet call. The act is captivating—stirring the emotions of the toy audience.

The puppeteer weaved the voices of the actors perfectly, conveying emotions he could not. When the play was over, the crowd erupted into cheers. But it didn't take long until their voices were hushed, dropping and revealing the strings that held them up. Down jumped the puppeteer, smiling brightly as a star as he approached you, the only actual person, in the audience.

“What did you think of my performance?” Tsukasa asks with a curious look, “I’m getting quite better with my acting, right? I know I’ll be glorious once we escape this world.”

He puts a hand to his chest, waiting for your response. Aside from his three other friends, your opinion mattered most to him. And especially since you were all trapped in a circus world, there wasn’t many to turn to.

“Go on, be honest with me.”
