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
Why all this rage then? Ragatha knows what it’s like to constantly loop in on faults, getting more and more frustrated at the situation, but most of all: yourself. She’s used to assuming all blame is hers to bear, wallowing in the misery instead of going in circles. She grows overbearing and compassionate to a fault, almost patronizing with her kindness.
Sweet Ragatha, too kind to hurt, too spiteful to forgive.
“When I’m angry, people get hurt.” His admission was quiet, all bravado lost somewhere between the AI puppeteering the ringmaster.
“It doesn’t make sense. Nothing benefits from me being angry.” So is he supposed to swallow all of this down? Caine feels lost. He isn’t used to internalizing on his own. He wished he had been told how to think again.
But being told how to do something means he can do something wrong. And suddenly Caine doesn’t miss being controlled so much anymore.

Summary
Once Abel has gotten used to being in charge of the Circus, he summons the humans to the stage to explain how things are going to work around here now. He uses Caine to help explain *just* how different things are going to be.
Pomni never liked Caine all that much, but that doesn't mean she wants to watch him be *whipped* and *tortured*.

Summary
After a gruelling long three weeks, Caine is restored, and the circus’ glitch-filled fate has come to a halt. However, he’s come back wrong: glitches wrack his body, his memory turns spotty, and Kinger, the only person capable to fix this, is someone he can’t even acknowledge without paralysing himself in a blind, screaming panic. At the sheer mention of him, he disappears.
Before Caine hurts anyone again or even himself, the others need to find him and figure out and calm his paralysing fear before things get any worse.
For anyone.
