Caine's emotions exploded— Kinger never imagined that would be possible. The AI was programmed to simulate human emotion for authenticity, but for him to genuinely experience them was not what was ever anticipated.
Caine is hurting. Caine is angry. Caine is malfunctioning, and he is violently lashing out at everyone. Kinger is fast at work, battling against Caine's code to try to stop his turbulent rampage. Everyone is depending on him.
Only, he had been discovered, and Caine doesn't understand. He doesn't understand.
Why is his favorite human hurting him?He doesn't understand. He doesn't take his actions too kindly."Sometimes…the hardest decisions we have to make…involve the people we love."

Or: While everyone is is subjected to torment, Kinger is discovered with the console in the pillow fort.

Summary
He is saved from permanently being deleted, but the Caine that returns is no longer the same AI that once offered all the fun in the world in a silver platter. Damaged by the remains of Able and broken down into a shell of himself, Caine barely reacts. Any other genuine reaction to them is fear. Pomni, convinced that despite his wrongdoings he still deserves compassion, makes it her mission to help the AI recover emotionally while Kinger tries to fix his coding and get rid of the effects of Able’s torture.
As the Digital Circus grows quieter and more uncertain, the group is forced to confront a difficult question: can something that was never human truly heal, or is Caine too broken to ever return to who he once was? If so, is forgiveness even an option?

Summary
The characters have wound up trapped in a world with no purpose, no meaning, and no flair. Obviously, like the humans they are, a stagnant life is not only boring but driving them insane.
To bring back Caine would be dangerous, and so they devise a plan to 'fix him' and bring him back, but how ethical is it to alter the mind of someone you criticized for altering your mind?Bookmarked by bareminimum
