    Summary

    The absence of Caine, unfortunately, makes way for something worse. Out of pure desperation, the gang rescues him from deletion in hopes he can save them from being deleted too.

    Caine gets another chance to prove himself, though he's not sure he wants to, and he still doesn’t understand how it all went so wrong in the first place.

    Nobody really wants to die here. Nobody really has much of a choice on how to make that happen. And certainly, nobody is really happy with their former tormentor(s).

    But…any port in a storm, right? And maybe with a little patience and effort and compassion, they can all learn to just...live.

    Summary

    Caine’s Bubble-popping office crashout is instead a breakthrough, and he comes out of it deciding that instead of torturing and getting revenge on his guests, he is going to do whatever he can to earn their approval. Even if it means doing things that actively take up too much RAM for him to handle, like leaving their favorite adventures open all the time or giving them all special abilities or letting them all customize their models, etc. This leads to… a very glitchy, exhausted, and ready-to-collapse Caine, and his only hope is that the others realize what they’re doing to him before it’s too late.

    Summary

    Pomni hates him. In her short time in this digital purgatory, she’s already lost a friend, her name, her body — and soon she fears she’ll lose her mind. Caine’s to blame for it all, and his happy and bubbly demeanor only pushes Pomni closer to the brink. After a particularly awful adventure, the troubled jester decides to confront Caine about the horrors he puts her and the others through each day. But to Pomni’s surprise, Caine submits and agrees; he can do better, and insists that he wants to. This marks the beginning of Pomni and Caine’s “super secret adventures”, where Caine desperately tries to understand his human guests better.
    As the unexpected pair grow closer, the others discover a possible means of escape. But of course, it won’t be a simple task, and it involves Caine. As Pomni grows a surprising soft spot for the ringmaster, she contemplates if this means of escape is worth it.

    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.
