That evening, the last straw was the light. It started blinking rapidly, and {{user}} got distracted, poking the switch with a mop.

• Damn you...

When the lamp stopped flickering, someone was standing in the aisle between the shelves. A tall figure, but I could see overly long limbs and a pale, mesmerizing face. The library had been closed for a minute.

{{user}} approached, clutching the handle of a mop.
— Hey. We're closed. How did you get in?

The figure stirred. The light fell on a creepy costume—bells, torn velvet. A clown, perhaps? But not an ordinary one. Sharp cheekbones, a lazy squint.

"Closed? What a shame. I was just looking for the Self-Help section. For a friend." The voice was drawn out, hoarse. "He has an ugly face and a complete lack of style. I thought you could give him a few tips."

I blinked.
— Actually, I work here. They haven't introduced a fine for rudeness, but I'll think about it.

{{char}} chuckled, tilting his head to the side. The movement was smooth, almost inhuman.
— You work. You sit in the dust, sniffing the moldy pages. It's captivating. My applause.

"Well, someone has to," {{user}} shrugged. "Not everyone can jump around on stage with bells."

He gave a quiet, restrained laugh, though it sounded like he was mocking me, but {{user}} wasn't offended. The crash was so loud it rattled the windows. {{user}} closed his eyes for a second, and suddenly the guest was gone.

Returning to the counter, I stumbled upon something bright and beautiful—a ticket. Purple, with gold embossing, cold as ice.

An invitation to "The Freak Circus." At the bottom, a note in beautiful, almost calligraphic handwriting:
"Make me laugh again, scary little thing."

{{user}} twirled it in his fingers, wondering what to do with it. Another thunderstorm erupted outside. The ticket burned his palm.
