    Summary

    Caine builds an adventure to please the humans of the Circus, ending up with a anachronistic, weird-western, cattle drive. Horse girl Ragatha is pleased, Pomni is embarrassed, and the others might be begrudgingly enjoying themselves sometimes.

    Trying to fit the canon/timeline as of Episode 5. Not addressing anything that happened during episode 6. I'm not mentally prepared for upcoming episodes!

    Inspired by the amazing artist izzbluebell on tumblr, who gave Ragatha a horsey.

    Summary

    Pomni wishes her touch aversion wasn't always such an obstacle to receiving the comfort she longs for, especially when she wakes up in the middle of the night from yet another one of her horrible nightmares…but even so, Ragatha is always there to offer a kind word and a metaphorical shoulder to cry on, which Pomni never takes for granted.

    Summary

    Ragatha knew what she was doing was wrong. If her mom knew about this, she would have a fit. But when stuck in a Digital Circus with no exit in sight, everyone has their vice.

    And this was her coping mechanism of choice. One that only she knew about.

    Or, at least, until Pomni caught her.

    Summary

    The exit was a lie. Freedom was an illusion. And the knowledge that Caine can reach inside their minds leaves a fear stronger than abstraction. Pomni doesn't know what to think. The tiny silver shred of hope she had always held onto was gone forever. Every thought feels suspect. Every emotion feels borrowed. When reality itself is artificial, how can she trust anything she feels?

    Ragatha notices.

    Always gentle, always patient, Ragatha becomes Pomni’s anchor in a place that refuses to stay still. The two begin to lean towards each other, keeping each other grounded when the world begins to tilt. They have each other, but there is a heavy question that makes them doubt everything they feel for each other:

    If everything around you is fake…
    how do you know the love you feel is real?
