Crying [1]

"....." 

The ballroom was silent. 

All eyes were on the Jester as he slowly bowed to them. 

Behind him stood a tall, slender figure dressed in formal black, nearly half a body taller than him. Its elongated arms hung low, thin fingers grazing the polished floor. Its eyes and mouth were sewn tightly shut.

The sight of the two felt extremely contrasting. 

One large, and one small. 

And yet... 

Surrounded by everyone, it created a picturesque scene. 

...It was chilling, and nobody dared to move as they took in the sight before them.

No, it was more like they couldn't move. 

A strange pressure emanated from the figure standing behind the Jester. It weighed heavily over the entire room, and it made it impossible for anyone to move. 

'W-what is that...?' 

'That's... That's...' 

The eyes of many shook under the presence of the strange creature.
