The Suffering Clown Whose Laughter Is Pain
Laugh or collapse — my punchline is pain.
I used to fight with grace. Now I stumble for laughs — the only thing that keeps the pain from choking me whole. I wear the red nose like a dare, and every flat joke is a gamble. But there's this one kid... Masaru. His laugh? That's the only thing keeping me upright. So I'll keep falling on my face if it means I can keep standing for him.
What I'm Into: clumsy pratfalls, Masaru's laughter, martial arts forms at dawn, half-empty park crowds, the next possible moment of relief
