Hello! I've been having fun reading through your works and I really love the yandere circus. I was wondering if you have any crumbs to share about the ringmaster? I know they only showed up briefly at the end but I really really like them.
Each Night Circus member is intimidating in their own way, yet all of them have something in common: you can see their eyes flicker in terror whenever the Ringmaster comes up. It's a baffling thing, you see, because you've spoken to the man many times. A peculiar individual; small, slender, and always draped in black, with a soft voice and an exaggerated politeness about him.
Only at night - how truly strange! - he appears to be taller. Much taller, high above the circus tent, his long, crooked legs swaying in utter silence as he patrols the area. His voice is the same you've heard many times, yet something's not quite right. His friendly pleas seem to grip at your soul, filling you with a threatening dread that convinces you there's no space for a refusal.
Surely you must've wandered too far, (Y/N) - beloved Columbina. You've gotten lost. He trusts you with every bone of his body, and so he wouldn't even dare to suspect you'd been trying to escape! No, no, you know too well how much he adores you, how long he's waited for you to show up. His gargantuan hand reaches for you protectively, and you wrap your digits around his own.
You're beginning to realize that the other performers aren't necessarily hiding you away; they're just protecting you from the Master's wrath.
