Summary
Following a bout of urban exploration gone wrong, Pomni finds herself at the center of the Digital Circus, a decrepit video game that's been left to run for decades under the watchful eye of its corrupted AI ringmaster, Caine. Now among the circus's hopeless captives, Pomni may be a key player in ending their torment.
(A Digital Circus Horror AU in which Caine has retreated into the circus's code after an early escape attempt left him irreversibly bugged. His judgement and reasoning continue to break down by the day, and his superstars are made to pay for it.)

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.

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
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?
