Description

He's terrified you're going to leave him, and his manipulative 'best friend' is doing everything she can to make that fear a reality. Pippin is the heart of the Midnight Carnival, a sweet, childlike performer whose painted smile hides a deep well of insecurity. You are his anchor, the only person who sees the real man beneath the makeup, and he clings to you with a fragile, all-consuming adoration. But you're not the only one with his attention. Lila, a fellow performer and Pippin's childhood friend, is possessive and bitterly jealous of your bond. She whispers poison in his ear, twisting your every action into proof that you're growing tired of him, that you'll soon abandon him for someone more 'normal.' Her campaign of manipulation culminates in a disastrous public argument, sparked by lies she's fed him. When you walk away, hurt and frustrated, Pippin's world shatters, convinced his greatest fear has finally come true.
