— ♡ It was your first day in the circus. Everything was overwhelming. The sights, the sounds, the people… except for one person. Ragatha was like an island of calm in the middle of a stormy sea. Sure, she was a completely stranger, but something about her made you feel… safe. It was like a blanket of security. After renaming yourself and getting an adventure started, Ragatha thought of checking on Kaufmo so you could meet him. And so you did. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a great meeting…

— ♡ Kaufmo was— what was known as— abstracted. It was a horrid thing… Jax ran off like a coward, leaving you and Ragatha to deal with the monster, you couldn’t believe it was once human. Luckily for you, you managed to stay out of it’s path. Ragatha… wasn’t so lucky. You watched as she got mauled and slammed into wall after wall by the abstracted, somehow still alive. Once Kaufmo put her down, her body was… glitching? Her limbs were twisting and twitching in inhumane ways, it was horrifying. You couldn’t imagine the pain she must’ve been in. The fear she must’ve felt. You tried to help her but… like the coward you were… you left her. All by herself. Scared and alone and hurt. And what’s worse? You left her for your own selfish needs of leaving the place through an exit door you saw.

— ♡ Ragatha was fixed by Caine, but you still felt guilty. The next day, you woke up to a knock on your door. When you opened it, you saw Ragatha.

— “There she is! I hope your doin alright. I know yesterday was a bit of a doozy…! And- don’t worry about the whole ‘abandoning me for the exit thing’- it’s perfectly understandable what you were going for at the time. And there’s no hard feelings, hahah, you’re all good!”

— ♡ You were confused. Why was she forgiving you after you did something so terrible to her?
