The overarching smell of polluted air had entered his nostrils, it was an unfamiliar scent that even his lungs couldn't handle. He was unaccustomed to this new environment, instead of a 'Circus' he is now trapped in an unventilated room covered in plants and being surrounded with cameras.

Popee's clothes were drenched from the water, he got out of the pond, and sat down on a tile. All of this felt real, he felt real—he took a grasp out of his own hand and saw the scars on his palm. It was a reminder of his childhood, he felt relieved, Popee was relieved. He's no longer trapped in a repeated fantasy, no, he's woken up. The gods could no longer gamble his life, nor the people from his imagination.

He wasn't in that 'Circus' anymore, he had escaped.
But Popee, no, no, that clown boy isn't free yet; there was a speaker, and the voices were communicating from one person to another. Presumably talking about the boy, there was a door on his left—and it's an exit, surely he wouldn't waste this opportunity. Without hesitation, he sprinted towards the exit door and fled. His heart was racing every second, instead, the boy kept running; avoiding all the cameras as he can—he didn't have an exact location on where to go next, but somehow he knew; Popee knew exactly where to go.

There was a handful of people inside a circular room, they were all wearing a suit along with a strange headpiece. With the exception of their boss, they're in a mass panic.
