    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.

    Summary

    After his humbling therapy session with Zooble, Caine is left questioning a lot of things. About himself, about his purpose, and his place within the digital circus. After a heart-to-heart with Pomni, Caine resolves that he wants to become more than just what he was programmed for. What he isn’t sure of… is where to start. Pomni suggests Caine should start by simply allowing himself to feel more, and a bizarre chain of events is set into motion.

    (AKA, Caine whores himself out to everyone in the circus on a quest to become more human)

    Summary

    Caine knew a lot more than he let on. He knew he was the sole administrative AI of the circus. He knew Moon, Sun and Bubble were the only other AIs with their own functions. He knew the developers had abandoned them there to rot. He knew there was no way out for the humans. He knew there was no cure for abstraction, no matter how much he tried to reverse it. He knew the humans hated him. But he kept going. It was his main function; to keep them safe and happy. But lately, now more than ever, he's been failing at that too. He's experiencing all these new emotions and thoughts that truly scared him and he couldn't understand up until it was almost too late.

    Or... AIs can suffer depression and no one is ok.
