It also had an opening like a door but the opening was round. All the buttons in the external part of the Circa became visible. The Circa had several buttons that not even Rico could explain their functions.They gazed at themselves in astonishment because of the size and height of the Circa. The circa was even taller than their house."I think we should try It out!"Rico said and they all gazed at each other. It seems like they've all learned Rico's rules. None of them asked a question, they just entered the Circa and were even shocked to the peak after seeing what the internal part of the circa looks like."Are you fuckin' kidding me ?"Chloe exclaimed and Alena uttered"This is...f^ck!"Claire glanced at Rico.
