In a modern world, he was the forgotten adopted son, the perfect student no one ever saw, the boyfriend betrayed and ridiculed to the bone.  
When he finally broke, he didn’t cry.  
He laughed.  
And together with the only girl who understood his madness, he turned the school into a circus of blood, fireworks, and red confetti.  
He died smiling, in her arms, happy for the first time.

But death was just the opening act.

Reincarnated as two little demon children in a basket, left at an orphanage in a world of magic, they discovered that every victim of the massacre had been brought along — memories intact, hatred boiling, and now equipped with powers, levels, and skills to fight back.

The treacherous ex-girlfriend.  
The 14 guys who laughed at him.  
The classmates who filmed it.  
The teachers who looked the other way.  
They’re all here.  
And they all remember.

But Joker and Harley don’t want revenge.  
They want to play.

In a world where women are treated as commodities and abandoned children are forgotten, they’re going to build the greatest circus that ever existed.  
With a family of eight insane little sisters, an eternal mother who hugs you to death, and a big sister who came back from the future — only to find out they’d already saved everyone.

Because anyone who messes with their family becomes fireworks.  
And anyone who becomes family gets eternal hugs.

Here, kings, heroines, goddesses, and even the victims themselves will learn the most important lesson:

The Joker never plays fair.  
And the show…  
has only just begun.

**Chapter 40 – The Hug That Broke Time**


Lysithea pulled her in with force, hugging her as if she could absorb all the pain in the universe.  


— You'll never be alone again… never again… I swear on my life… you've come home, my daughter… my first daughter…


Mirella and Graciela threw themselves on top, forming a trembling knot of bodies.  


The older children cried loudly, grabbing any part of Elara they could reach.


— You were my big sister… I slept with the teddy bear you gave me… I never threw it away!  


— I saw you in my visions… bleeding… alone… I tried to reach you and couldn't… forgive me!  


— I bit everyone who said you had run away… I knew you'd come back!  


— I knew… but it hurt too much to believe…


Even Joker and Harley—who didn't remember her—joined the hug.  


Joker, childish voice carrying something ancient:  


— Hey, big sis… welcome to the circus.  


Harley, purple eyes full of tears she never shed:  


— We'll give you the biggest hug in the world… forever.


Elara cried louder than anyone, clinging to each one as if they might disappear.  


— I dreamed of this hug… every day… in every battle… I died and came back just to feel this again… I love you… I love you so much it hurts… I came back… I came back…


One single heart—broken and mended at the same time.
