The Freak Circus - just a thought.

• The truth about Columbiana’s death

(They have exaggerated and embellished the story of Columbiana’s death a lot.)

• What exactly did Pierrot do, and why is there a rule forbidding him to speak?

• In Neko’s Patreon interview with the doctor, Neko said the doctor is afraid of Pierrot’s unpredictable actions,actions he might not be able to correct.

Why does the doctor think that way?

• In Neko’s Patreon interview, Pierrot said that Jester is gentle

(at least in Pierrot’s eyes).

• Harlequin – what was the reason he broke with Pierrot?

It seems like the two of them argued even before Columbiana died.

(After Columbiana’s death, their relationship became even worse.)

• Their emotional understanding — “sadness, grief, love.”

I truly wonder how much these monsters understand those feelings.

They learn emotions through observation, but how deeply can they actually feel them?

(I will explain separately why I think this way.)

I was thinking about Columbina's words when we try to give our character her name. (We are not the same. You and I. I didn't want to. But our fate was cursed. I should have listened to him. It was my fault.)

Columbina definitely disobeyed the Jester in some way, and she says she is guilty of something. The question is — of what?

I have these thoughts, very far-fetched and out of nowhere, of course, but why not? What if Columbina fell in love with a human — meaning she wasn't in love with Pierrot or Harlequin, but specifically with a human. And she brought him to them (to the monsters). But the human took advantage of her feelings, actually feeling nothing for her. In the end, this human brought other people, and what happened next is told in Harlequin's story.

So my idea is that Columbina didn't heed the Jester's warnings about humans.

What do you think about it?

Yes, I realize it was just a blind guess...🥹🤧

I want to add to the post with this wonderful insight — I think it sounds more logical this way👇🏻

The Freak Circus — just a thought.

Do you think Pierrot still has feelings for Columbina?

As we all know, Pierrot once fell deeply in love with Columbina and even tried to court her, competing with Harlequin.

So if Columbina were to return — whether reincarnated, resurrected, or even as a ghost — would Pierrot fall for her again?

You’ve heard the saying “your first love is the hardest to forget,” right?

The thing is… we don’t actually know how far their relationship ever went.

We don’t know whether Columbina saw Pierrot as family, as a close companion, or as a man she could truly love. (Do you know? Because I don’t)

That’s why I keep wondering what our little Pierrot would do with all those tangled emotions.

It would be so dramatic — Pierrot is basically a teenager experiencing love for the first time.

Would he be confused?

Would he be torn apart by old memories?

Or would he know exactly how he feels?

I swear, this whole scenario is perfect for a heartbreaking drama.

(Is there anyone who can write this kind of tragic love story for me? I want to cry already.)

"T'ch! Everything's better 'an paperwork, even ya." // sips sake

"How charming." Not that he would care, seems the captain was a little rough in speaking, but what was expected from a brute like him. Le sigh.

(No this was not a question, this was a statement.)

Sips sake himself, because what to do otherwise in such days? “If you would do your paperwork in a more moderate pace, there wouldn’t be as much.” Spoke the most likely laziest person around.

"I WAS busy. Gimme that bottle..."

// hands over the bottle without so much of a word

// came here anyway for a drink…or two… or three

"Nice to see that you take your time for me."

AGGRESSIVELY INVADES ASKBOX

// AGGRESSIVELY SHOVES HIM BACK OUTSIDE

FLOP.

"…Shinigami nowadays…"

// barges inside the askbox. through the ceiling.

—What?

Large Shinigami in askbox, inevitably had left another large evidence upon his arrival. A hole. Ah, not that there was anything to change in that, Lilynette would probably use the possibility to install something — innovative — she had seen in some peculiar screen in Gin’s surveillance room on the roof. So everything would go back to normal.

Now to deal with the ‘problem’ on hand.

—If at all.

"Mhm." Ah… why the effort? "…if you want to sleep somewhere, i have a guest-room."

"And for the next time… i also have a door."
