    Summary

    Caine understood his humans perfectly. For roughly several days during a mental breakdown.

    His humans, on the other hand, understood him from the start. Even if they were too blind and uncomfortable with the fact to realise that.

    Summary

    “Caine?” Pomni asked again. The orb drifted up and down in a nod. “How do I know it’s you? Why do you look so…” Small, weird, different. She’d been anticipating seeing a Caine clawing at the walls, or crying, or yelling. How ever she imagined finding Caine, he looked like, well, Caine. Not this.

    oOo

    The plan was simple: undelete Caine, get the Circus back up and running, and place some restrictions so Caine couldn't mess with them.

    Unfortunately, Caine and the Circus are a little more complicated than meets the eye.

    Summary

    It’s been a few days since The Favorite Character Awards.

    Pomni has been through a number of bizarre things during her time in the circus. Candy truck chases, angel head horrors, minimum wage labor, athletic events, gun-filled battle royales. But none of these come close to what she witnesses on a seemingly innocent day full of beach-filled fun: Caine attempting to take his own life.

    After managing to stop him, Pomni takes it upon herself (and is borderline forced to by Bubble) to help keep Caine’s mental state intact by engaging in improvised therapy sessions with him. After all, if Caine died, what would happen to the circus? And to the humans that lived within it? This was her only concern at first. But as Caine opens up to her more through these sessions, she realizes just how much the AI is hurting and how long he has been harboring these negative emotions.

    Turns out Caine needs more help than she thought.

    He's just as trapped in this game as they are. And worse.
