   • Sporadic Updates
   • Caine-centric
   • Caine is straight up not having a super great time
   • A little plot bunny that got way out of hand so here we are
   • There's going to be little shipping in this fic- though there are implications!
   • Most of the relationships between the cast can be interpreted freely as platonic or romantic
   • I'm also a big sucker for forced family turned found family
   • No beta I'm just kind of fucked
   • tags AND content/lore of the fic are prone to change as the story progresses
   • Disclaimer : this fic was written by middle school Little Me way early on when TADC was still young
   • Chapter 1 through 5 was written PRE-EPISODE 2 of TADC
   • Chapter 6 pre-episode 3 and Chapter 7 post-episode 4 and Chapter 8 post-episode 8
   • SO YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF INCONSISTENCIES IN THE LORE
   • A lot of the Canon lore and Fic lore may not match up so please just consider this an AU!
   • inconsistent updates
   • Sane kinger
   • Suicidal caine
   • Wearing the headsets for a prolonged period of time has lasting effects on the humans
   • This fic lowkey Deep larping and I just talk a lot so might be kind of a slow read
   • I'm also fist fighting with my middle school self over the batshit crazy fucking lore she gave this fic and I'm trying to make it work so bear with me
   • "there is meaning to be found in a stagnant life"

   Summary

   "I think it would be funny if everyone manages to escape the Digital Circus in the end and they don't want Caine's AI to trap any more people so they somehow manage to drag him to the human world with them. Now the tables have turned and it's Caine's turn to be absolutely flabbergasted by reality and his new human body." -Me, 2023

   In hindsight, bringing an Artificial Intelligence computer program back with them to the real world was probably not the best idea. But hey: they were still alive. Somewhat. That counted as a win in Pomni’s book.
