    Summary

    His body had felt so heavy ever since he came back. Like he was being weighed down by bricks and crawling through tar in his head. Tired, was what humans had named this feeling, but he couldn't be tired! He had too many assignments to do!

    Summary

    With no door in the distance, no vision of a world beyond to give him hope, Caine makes a choice.

    Apologies are hard and painful and being soft earth is not.

    (Until there are hands in the soil, reaching for what he's so carefully buried, gentle and insistent that he come see the sun.)

    Summary

    "Why don't we go sit down somewhere! There's some couches not far from here where we can all catch up!" Ragatha stepped in, offering Caine a hand. To shake? For comfort? Caine wasn't sure, but Caine took it without hesitation with the intention of giving her a nice firm shake.

    That's when he realized he could feel her. Caine could honest to god feel the threads of her cloth hands brush against his gloves, the tiny grooves made by the woven fibers catching on his own. They were soft. They were faintly warm.

    Caine's dreams had never simulated physical touch before. None of his dreams had access to those senses! But he felt Ragatha's hand in his. He froze in place, staring at their clasped palms. He felt it. He felt the fibers catch on his, the friction heating up his glove ever so slightly.

    He needed to end this dream immediately.

    What.


    In the six months since his deletion, Caine had made leaps and bounds toward a better future for the circus! His humans were happy, healthy, and thriving! For the first time in his life, Caine feels he belongs.

    Then it's all taken away, circus and all.
