    Summary

    When Pomni approaches the other cast members with frantic descriptions of her room suddenly glitching out for no apparent reason, they're quick to either make her sound crazy (cough, JAX, cough) or reassure her that it was just a one-time thing. After all, nobody else experienced a glitch! Maybe it was just a fluke, Ragatha says. Pomni is not convinced.

    It all comes to a head when Caine appears, loud and eager as ever, ready to start the day with another wacky adventure, but... since when does he emit heat like that? And why does he sound so strange?

    OR

    Pomni gets a rough start to her day, then she (and Zooble) learns something new and unexpected about the resident ringmaster.

    Summary

    No, it could not possibly be cruel, they were bringing him back from the dead, this was a kindness.

    This belief was eventually reinforced when it was time to bring Caine back. The process, surprisingly, was incredibly simple. The circus worked just like any other computer system, with deleted items just ending up in the recycle bin. It had luckily not been long enough for Caine to be properly deleted.
    It was just a matter of dragging his code out of there, making some minor modifications so he couldn't go on a rampage again, and spawning his model into the prepared room.

    There was no fuss, everything seemed to be running perfectly.

    No one considered that maybe that isolated room near the end of the hallway was just out of earshot.

    Aka, Caine gets brought back, but in a spare room, and ends up getting tortured by complete accident because no one realizes that might be a bad idea

    Summary

    There was a problem. An issue, a minor error. Something in the code that clearly wasn't working correctly.

    What if after the events of episode 7, Caine decides that the players unhappiness and general issues with the circus are his fault, and he goes about fixing that in the worst way possible.

    Summary

    Kinger mumbles an affirmative under his breath. The sound of scratching on paper grabs Caine's attention, only just noticing the notepad in the other's hand. He watches the pencil dance across the paper, slightly entranced by the movement, until it stops and Kinger's attention is back on him. "Alright. What's the last thing you remember?"

    Nothingness. The absence of himself. A moment that never existed, yet he knows the time passed, so something has to be there. Even if it isn't. Even if he wasn't. He thinks this, and comes up with a response that makes sense with the context he has in his mind. He doesn't compute how it will come across when all he has to say is:

    "Nothing."

    OR:

    Caine is dead. Then, he isn't. Not because the humans wanted to see him again, not because they felt bad, but because the circus couldn't survive without him. To top it all off, he was only brought back to begin with thanks to one teeny, tiny little condition:

    He can no longer use his powers.
