    Summary

    Trying to get used to Caine’s presence after the fact is. . . difficult.

    Against all odds, defying all expectations, the AI is strangely docile. Still equipped with a bucket over his head, Kinger lifts the bucket with one hand, meeting Pomni’s gaze when she looks up and finds her body suddenly cooperating again. Her avatar is no longer racked by glitches, she no longer flashes colors that she shouldn’t be — one second, she was unsteady, and the next, it was like nothing ever happened.

    Pomni sits up, and everyone follows her gaze to find. . .

    Caine.

    Summary

    Pomni is willing to claim that she is the ONLY sane one in this circus, because why in the wacky world is she getting ganged up on for respecting food laws.

     

    [more accurately: pomni, caine, and ragatha get into an one-sided argument (pomni's behalf) over food and how to eat it.]

    Summary

    “I don’t think I’ll be able to make another adventure.” Caine’s voice cracked. His voice was quiet, hushed, as if he was telling a secret he wasn’t supposed to tell. Kinger almost hadn’t heard it.

    The latter laughed, though dryly. “What?” he questioned, choosing not to believe what Caine had said. It was simply impossible.

    The AI hesitated. “Kinger… I don’t think I’ll last much longer,” he said, much more faintly now.

    Kinger didn’t respond. He knew this day would be coming. Caine had been running constantly, and for much longer than the optimal limit. It was only a matter of time until the AI and his systems would eventually degrade, and reach a level where it would be unsalvageable. Not that Kinger could fix Caine anyway—sure, he could fix the AI’s code and all, but anything physical was hopeless. Aside from that, Caine’s data was slowly being corrupted due to severe bit rot. Most of it was because of Caine’s failure to maintain his own software. His data was decaying, in short.

    To put it in brief words: Caine was dying.

    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.
