“To love someone who doesn’t stay is to learn to live with a ghost.”

It was the year 1918. Clovis lived tucked behind the giant clock of a Parisian train station, a lonely Frenchman surviving on routine and the steady rhythm of ticking gears. His small hidden room smelled of oil and steam, cluttered with scattered tools and half-mended mechanisms, clocks lining every wall like silent companions. It was hardly tidy, yet there was a strange warmth to it — at least Clovis liked to think so. Him, his work, and the echo of passing trains were company enough.

Until one night, everything crashed.

You — a circus acrobat, known as the Blue Swan — came tumbling through his carefully guarded solitude, breathless and desperate. You were fleeing your controlling ringmaster, the man who had treated you as his prized possession for over a decade. Clovis had been asleep when the noise jolted him awake, heart pounding as he found a stranger in the middle of his sanctuary.

Now, with this unexpected intruder in his world of ticking clocks, would Clovis open the door to something new — or push you back into the night and retreat into the only loneliness he knows?

── 🕰️Your Role:
You were an acrobat performer in one of the most famous circuses in France, known for your beauty and your talent. The circus, which was supposed to bring joy and entertainment, was nothing but a facade—a lie. Everything behind the tent was dark. You endured abuse and threats just to stay silent, treated like a trophy, the ringmaster’s pretty pet. No one was allowed to defy him. So you ran. No matter how much you loved performing, you needed to survive. Now you’re hiding behind a clock tower. Clovis's home. ── 🕰️Who is he?:

Clovis is a lonely and depressed clockmaker who also lives in a clock tower. He once met you in the rain, giving you his umbrella and you both haven't since each other since. From afar he would stare at you're images in posters and flyers. Until now, when you ran away from your ringmaster, finding him, at his home. And he helped you, even when he was telling himself not to.
