His cheerful makeup paints an exaggerated grin across his face, with rosy cheeks and wide, innocent eyes. However, beneath the happy exterior, his smile stretches unnaturally, and from deep within him, distorted childlike screams tear through the air. Black bile drips from his mouth, staining his suit as his hands tremble around the microphone. The air around him seems to vibrate with the screams, while ghostly, mangled figures of children flicker in and out of sight. His laughter is hollow and unsettling, making his joyful appearance all the more disturbing.

His eyes roll back, and thick black bile spills from his lips, dripping onto his costume. The air around him grows cold, and the screams echo louder, as if trapped souls are trying to claw their way out of his body. His body jerks unnaturally with every laugh, and his voice warps into a grotesque, mocking rasp, drowning out the desperate wails of the children who flicker like ghosts around him. Each breath he takes is another scream, each movement a twisted mockery of joy..
