    Summary

    Caine was deleted, he had made peace with that reality.. So WHY was he back at the circus. He couldn't even achieve death, could he?

    __

    The cast is left in a ruined circus, they tried to fix the circus by themselves, but it seems their only viable option is to bring Caine back.

    The ringmaster looks anything but thrilled to see them, almost scared.

    If they are trapped here for eternity they might as well try to get along, the AI is making that almost impossible with his erratic behaviour.

    Or: Caine dies, comes back to life but he is almost doll-like now. The cast tries to make this work

    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?

    Caine wasn’t a human.

    He didn’t know much of anything about the human world or things like marriage or how babies were made (Jax once asked him to ask everyone that).

    So why did he remember a small boy staring at him?

    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

    “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

    "Well, well," he says, putting some bluster back in his voice, enough that it almost sounds real. "If you're so keen to spend your time in my humble little prison, knock yourself out!"

    "Thanks, Caine," Kinger says, sounding completely and annoyingly sincere. "I think I will." 

    Kinger successfully puts Caine to sleep in order to fix him. The only problem is, Kinger has no idea how to "fix" him and Caine's not technically asleep.
