    Summary

    Caine's deletion had done more than send the circus into disarray. It had left the world vulnerable. No sooner had Caine been stripped of his title of ringmaster than another AI was filling his chair. And this new executive is far less... forgiving than Caine is.

    A.B.E.L has sunk its claws into every corner of the circus in Caine's absence. Far away are the days of wacky adventures and side puzzles. The new AI seems interested only in pushing the humans to their physical and mental limits.

    Caine is not entirely gone, however, simply demoted. Abel could not purge his code, and so it gives him a new purpose. At least his new task allows him to stay close to his humans.

    The crew quickly realizes that Caine had been a mouse in the presence of this viper.

    Summary

    After Ragatha helps Caine through a low point, he suddenly designates her as his assistant. She tries to use the position to improve things for everyone in the Circus, but Caine isn't allowed to give them everything they want. In the course of getting to know him better, she might have found a way to bypass those restrictions. But it could be dangerous when he's mentally unstable and becoming more obsessed with her by the day.

    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

    Kinger answered, voice slightly deeper due to the bucket. “We’ve always been able to change things like you, but it wasn’t innate for us,” he explained. “After I… purged you... things fell apart, so we put them back together.” He waved one of his hands in a wide sweeping motion to gesture to the notably duller circus. “It’s more organized, less eye-straining, and we can get whatever we want whenever we want.” There was a small pause before one of the hands reached the tilt the bucket up in the slightest, revealing two eyes staring at him. “I did my best to repair you.”

    Summary

    -No spoilers-
    Set after the events of episode eight.

    In the wake of Caine's deletion a new power seizes the circus. Able. Adventures are replaced by twisted simulations and tests, orchestrated by an AI created for statistics and realism but poisoned by a creativity it should never have had access to.

    Caine and the humans suffer together.
