Chapter Text
“Kinger?” The chess piece turns his ‘head’ to pommi.
“yes pommi?”
“What are you doing?” The short jester walking along asks gesturing towards where kinger seemed to be going.
“Ah, well, it’s just a hunch I have—that I really hope is right.”
“Why do you hope this ‘hunch’ of yours is right?”
“Because, Caine might still be alive.”
“W-wait, what do you mean?” Pommi says, keeping her slight fear hidden under as much anger as she can manifest.
“Caine was deleted, but I never got the chance to clear out the trash can, which means his code for his ‘body’ might still be here.”
“What makes you so certain you’ll find him?—if this is turns out to be true, I mean.”
“Well, as I said, a hunch—and the fact that the circus hasn’t completely deteriorated yet.”
“Huh, that is a good hunch…but where are we going to find him exactly..?”
“If I had to guess, based off how Caine normally behaves…in a trash can or a hidden area.”
“The trash can I kinda get, but where are we going to find this ‘secret area’ if that’s where he is instead?”
“That normally would be a very hard question to answer, but thankfully if that area exists, then we just have to squint a bit.”
“What do you mean by-“ the jester looks around ever so slightly.
“Oh, right…”
“yep, if we look through the broken areas while looking for that trash can, then we’ll find it eventually.”
“Huh, alright, I’ll make sure to keep an eye out then.”
“Thanks for the help pommi, I appreciate it.”
