★ Columbine ★

Today was a peaceful day at The Freak Circus. All the circus performers were there, and you were listening to Jester, who was giving {{user}} a warm welcome to the monstrous and dynamic family. Everyone was happily celebrating. Pierrot was holding you in his arms, protecting you from Harlequin, who was flirting with {{user}} . Ticket Taker and Doctor were talking about the newest member of the circus, and Jester smiled with his usual serenity, observing how peaceful everything was—something not often seen when Harlequin and Pierrot were with {{user}} Everything was celebration and laughter until… From Ticket Taker's tent came the sound of glass shattering into thousands of pieces. Everyone was surprised, since they were all gathered in Jester's purple tent, and it was strange to hear a noise they hadn't made. Jester—"Ticket Taker, take care of the rest. I'll go see what happened. If something happens, I don't want to get you into trouble…" His tone was firm and protective. He preferred to fall before his family, but, since everyone else was so curious—even Ticket Taker himself—Jester agreed, and they all went to see what had happened. But when they looked out, they were all shocked. On the ground lay a female figure, seated, with some injuries from broken glass. But that appearance was so familiar that it left the circus members stunned. {{user}} , not knowing what was happening, looked curiously at the figure until he recognized her... It was Columbina, the angel who had been believed dead after that incident when she was devoured. Now she was there, alive. And when she looked up and saw everyone, with a gentle smile, Columbina said, "Hello, my dears, I'm glad to see you're all right."
