Everyone was in the circus tent, randomly chatting and what-not because they didn't have any shows that day. Percy wasn't there at the moment for some reason but Kate, Barnard, Milenko, Zea and Kira were just chatting.
“Zea! I got beef with you!” Percy yelled while storming into the circus tent. He seemed to be very pissed off about something but Zea didn't even know what he was mad at her about since the argument with Kate, was none of his concern or business in the first place but, Percy being a incubus, he liked to instigate and cause more issues then there needs to be. (Since incubus’s are known for being tricky and mischievous but flirty and straight forward at other times)
“Yo what did I do?” Zea says, confused.
“Why are you always trying to make Kate jealous by flirting with Milenko! Why can't you do it somewhere else!” Percy shouted again, looking Zea dead in the face.
“I- What?!” Zea says, more confused now. “DUDE! ME AND MILENKO ARE LITERALLY DATING SO HOW CAN YOU TELL ME NOT TO? THAT MAKES 0 SENSE!” Zea yells, super confused and thinking this is stupid.
“You were flirting with Milenko and she got jealous because she envy’s couples! And especially hates it when they flirt in front of her! You don’t know how annoying it is!” Percy yells in anger and disappointment.
“Annoying!? How is it MY issue?? If she doesn't like it then she can just leave the area then! Hell, since you're whining, why don't you start dating her, huh, with your stupid incubus self!” Zea shouts, annoyed and about to slap him.
Kate looks at both of them arguing and after Zea finishes her last sentence Kate looks shocked at the two of them.
“WHAT?!” Kate screams, shocked as hell but also confused on why Percy is mad.
“YOU HEARD ME! I'M SURE YOU'RE NOT DEAF! YOU’D DO THE SAME IF YOU WERE IN A RELATIONSHIP!” Zea shouted, pissed.
Kate looks at Zea super surprised and confused about everything happening but also knows what is happening.
“I just met that dude like 2 hours ago! Are you crazy?!” Kate yells.
“MAYBE I AM! You all keep forgetting, WERE ALL DEAD FOR SATAN SAKES! WHAT IS THERE TO LOSE IF WE ARE ALREADY IN HELL! We all knew each other when we were alive! No matter where we all were, we somehow met each other! NOW, We're just tortured souls who need a place to stay! Yeah, Sugar and Spice may not be abused and used but they still ended up here! THEY WERE KIDS! NOW THEIR IN THIS TORTURING CARNIVAL! They should be alive! THEIR KIDS! 12 year OLD KIDS!! BUT NOW THEIR IN THIS TORTURING CARNIVAL!” Zea shouts, upset by this realization after around 20 years.
Kate stares at Zea but also is spacing out then Kate walks quickly away without trying to make a scene anymore and she puts a hand on her forehead and walks outside the tent contemplating and breathes in and out slowly trying to stay away from everyone.
Everyone just stands there, listening and watching them argue, not knowing what to do. They all knew exactly what this was about but they had zero clue on what to do.
Kira seems to want to walk away from this whole thing and go home since it seemed so tense, Barnard is just smoking his pipe from earlier while just staring blankly, Percy is just standing there, surprised  from not knowing what to do, Zea just has her arms crossed over her chest while being agitated, Milenko looks concerned for Zea and the whole situation in general.

“Stupid girl... thinks this torment will end.. We're stuck here no matter what..” Zea mutters, sighing while still being upset by the realization after around 20 years. She looks over at Milenko, Barnard, Kira, and Percy. “The hell are you 4 looking at?! It's the truth!” Zea says, frustrated.
Milenko, Barnard, Kira, and Percy all look at each other, surprised to see Zea this frustrated and upset since she always seemed like the calm and reasonable one, despite her teasing like yanking tails or grabbing their horns.
Milenko seems hesitant to speak at first so he just decides to stay quiet to not further piss Zea off. He just was genuinely concerned and worried about her since she was his partner. He looked away so he doesn't have to talk to her at the moment since he doesn't know what to say that would comfort Zea.
Kate starts to walk quickly away from the tent and goes to a bench far away from the tent but not too too far and she is still contemplating what just happened.
~Time skip like 5 minutes later~
Percy, Kira, and Barnard walk outside the tent giving some space for Zea to calm down with Milenko who insisted to stay with Zea yet not knowing how to cheer Zea up since he didn't know how to comfort humans before. (Plus Zea was not the kind of person to get upset or frustrated and definitely, not to cry in front of others) But Kate is sitting on a bench that’s hidden from everyone's view. She was the one with a short temper and the one to hysterically cry sometimes, in front of the others. Of course it'd be a mess since Kate had 4 eyes.
