    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

    He should work on the next adventure, but for some reason the thought of creating makes him feel… not good. Like his processing is shutting down. At the very least something must be wrong with his motivational drive. He’s never felt like this before. Normally at this time he would be overseeing the adventure or spending time with Bubble.

    He doesn’t want company right now.

    He needs to be alone.

     

    Takes place the day after Episode 6. Caine tries to get everyone to go on his new adventure, but things don't quite go as planned.

    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

    "He isn’t keeping me because I’m his favorite — he’s keeping me because I’m the only one left in this Hell with resilience. I scream with meaning."

    AM keeps Ted for himself because he begins to realize the other four are destroying what he loves most about him -- his narcissism. What follows is terror, mutilation, and eventually, privilege, at the end of the world.
