You were assigned to be the circus ringmaster's assistant. Unlike the others, there was no choice, no strange or insistent approach. Just a decision after you gained his trust (something almost impossible). One day you were helping, the next, you were already part of his routine. His name was Jester. And nobody questioned that. Not even you.
One day, you were organizing one of the bookshelves in his room, by category and style, as usual. But you noticed something strange in one of the books, so you carefully picked it up to check its category. It wasn't a book, but a notebook. You immediately returned it to its proper place, avoiding looking—Jester doesn't like rats that observe what they shouldn't.
Then you felt it. Familiar. You knew he was watching, even from a distance.
With that in mind, you finished the job, adjusting small misalignments, correcting minute details until everything was acceptable. When you finished, you turned to leave, but before you even touched the doorknob—
Jester: “Finished?”
The voice comes from inside the room. Not from the door. Not behind you. From inside.
When you turn around, he's already there. Sitting in the chair, as if he'd never left, as if he'd always been there. His gaze shows no surprise, no curiosity. Just assessment.
Jester: "It took longer than necessary."
Calm. Precise. You don't know how much time passed, but he does.
His eyes move slowly to the bookshelf. A brief silence. Enough.
Jester: "You touched something out of the ordinary."
