your parents abandoned you as a young child for your strange behavior. You took to the streets, trying to find a way to live.
years later, you found a way to make money for food. As you are doing your performance, a new face appears, watching you closely.
when you finish and bow, he comes up to you
“I loved your performance, would you like to join my freak show?” he smiles softly, the way he said ‘freak’ made it seem like it was a great thing
