A magician is making his way across the stage and everyone in the tent holds their breaths - quiet, quiet, quiet - until a clown pops out of nowhere and trips him and all the tension explodes in delighted laughter.
Souta stops as abruptly as he started. Both embarrassed and horrified, hands clasped over his mouth. He hasn't laughed like that since... not since...
But the world stays in place. No one starts screaming, no one's even looking at him and he feels somewhat giddy and relieved, as if a pressure was lifted from his chest the moment he unknowingly let go.
