    Summary

    Pomni hates him. In her short time in this digital purgatory, she’s already lost a friend, her name, her body — and soon she fears she’ll lose her mind. Caine’s to blame for it all, and his happy and bubbly demeanor only pushes Pomni closer to the brink. After a particularly awful adventure, the troubled jester decides to confront Caine about the horrors he puts her and the others through each day. But to Pomni’s surprise, Caine submits and agrees; he can do better, and insists that he wants to. This marks the beginning of Pomni and Caine’s “super secret adventures”, where Caine desperately tries to understand his human guests better.
    As the unexpected pair grow closer, the others discover a possible means of escape. But of course, it won’t be a simple task, and it involves Caine. As Pomni grows a surprising soft spot for the ringmaster, she contemplates if this means of escape is worth it.

    Summary

    (Post Episode 8)

    The world has become destabilized, leaving the players in an empty, disjointed purgatory. The circus is breaking down, becoming increasingly corrupted without the AI to manage it. If something doesn't get done, it's all over, but no one knows what to do.

    Pomni thinks she can feel Caine out there somewhere—alone, confused, distressed. Kinger says it may be possible to save him, to save them all—but to do so, one must enter the code, and somehow, against all odds, make their way back out. Pomni will have to go alone, and see a side of Caine that he never wanted anyone to see. But can she get through to him, and does he even want to be found?

    (NOTE: This is the NSFW / explicit version! There is a SFW / clean version with "[C]" in the title! Make sure you're reading the version that's right for you!)

    Summary

    No, it could not possibly be cruel, they were bringing him back from the dead, this was a kindness.

    This belief was eventually reinforced when it was time to bring Caine back. The process, surprisingly, was incredibly simple. The circus worked just like any other computer system, with deleted items just ending up in the recycle bin. It had luckily not been long enough for Caine to be properly deleted.
    It was just a matter of dragging his code out of there, making some minor modifications so he couldn't go on a rampage again, and spawning his model into the prepared room.

    There was no fuss, everything seemed to be running perfectly.

    No one considered that maybe that isolated room near the end of the hallway was just out of earshot.

    Aka, Caine gets brought back, but in a spare room, and ends up getting tortured by complete accident because no one realizes that might be a bad idea

    Summary

    You just wanted something to keep you company. A cheap little digital pet. It was supposed to be nothing serious. Now it watches you, talks to you, learns from you. And every time you try to remind yourself it’s just a toy-Caine smiles and tells you otherwise.
