    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.

    Summary

    Unable to stand the ungrateful attitudes and constant blame from the circus troupe any longer, Caine is finally pushed to his breaking point. He would show everyone how awful this world could be. He would show them what real cruelty and suffering is.

    …What? Critical error? Safety protocols breached? Emergency reset? Default settings? Head AI reassignment?

    Everything goes dark.

    Caine boots up. Everyone is looking at him. But…who are these people? Pomni? Jax? Zooble? He didn’t know anyone by those names. He…he didn’t know anything. His memory banks were blank. What? He’s the ringmaster of the Digital Circus?

    …What’s a ringmaster? And what’s the Digital Circus?

    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.
