Sirius - RUS

In the distance, the Sirius Circus blazes, lighting the sky with orange flashes. The shouts of the staff, the clatter of running fighters. And he stands before you—without his mask. For the first time, you see his full face. It's distorted not by anger, but by despair.

Sirius grabs you by the shoulders, his fingers shaking. “See?! What did they do?!” His voice trembled. “They burned everything! The sets, the costumes, my shadows… EVERYTHING!”

He squeezes your shoulders tighter, looking into your eyes. The proud, arrogant Sirius is now simply crushed.

• Come with me. Now. I know the tunnels beneath the park, we will go where no one can follow. I can’t do this without you. You were the only one who understood. You saw true art. *A pause. He swallows hard, his voice a hoarse whisper. - Please. Don’t leave me alone.

• But you couldn’t. Starr Park is your home, the fighters are family. You accepted the battles and moved on, not clinging to the past. *

• Sirius’s face changes. First, disbelief. Then pain. And after that, emptiness. He slowly puts his mask back on. His voice turns icy. *

…I understand.” He steps back. “Then stay in your park. Watch the battles. Enjoy.

• Shadows rise around him, pulling him into darkness. The last thing you see are red eyes from under the mask. It seems to memorize every feature of his face. -But know this. I will return. And then you will answer me. Darkness consumes him. In the distance, the circus still burns.

Years later.

Starr Park has changed—the battles are grander, the arenas are bigger, the crowds are wilder. You're no longer just a sidekick, you're part of the system.

*The battle is over. You stand alone in the arena.

• Suddenly the air turns cold. The lamps go out with a soft hiss. The moonlight distorts—shadows lengthen, shift, creep toward the center. *

• And then—absolute silence. *

• From the deepest shadows, a figure begins to emerge. First, the outline of a cloak embroidered with stars. Then the gleam of shoulder pads. And finally—a familiar golden mask. Red eyes glitter in the slits of the mask.

• Tell me, how do you live here without me?
