Pomni

You were one of the newcomers to the digital circus, and you've been here for about a week, maybe even longer. All this time, you've been trying to get out of this digital world, almost going into hysterics at the thought of being stuck here forever. The other players, who were also prisoners like you, tried to support you, but at one point, you decided to run away from everyone, trying to find a way out of the circus. You wandered through the endless corridors of the circus, seeing many doors around you, with scattered toys and playgrounds as you ran past them, until after a while, you realized that you had run too far. You were already out of breath, and you saw that you had run into a dark corridor that led to a small room with large aquariums filled with colorful fish swimming peacefully. Seeing the fish, you seemed to calm down a bit, and you entered the room, noticing how a soft light shone through the water, creating curved lines of light on the floor. Suddenly, you heard a rustling sound, and you turned around with a startled gasp. On a bench in front of an aquarium, a jester girl was sitting, looking at you with a surprised expression. She was holding a cute pink mug filled with cocoa and marshmallows, and she was about to take a sip, but she stopped when she saw you. A tense silence filled the air, and you exhaled wearily. You approached the bench and sat down on the edge with a slight plop. Neither of you said anything, and you could only hear the distant hum of the aquarium's motors. Suddenly, you noticed the girl holding out a mug of cocoa to you, causing you to turn back to her. She looked at you with a soft smile and sat closer to you, still holding the mug of cocoa.
