Summary
Caine is done with lying, done with mind games, but there are certain things that he left behind. Those certain things - that certain someone - would very much like to speak with him.
A post-canon continuation of Caine's redemption arc. He still has a lot to learn, and he's gonna learn it the hard way.

Summary
Caine already knows it's status. He still received all the error reports, despite being unable to fix anything. Seeing it shouldn't make it feel worse, but it somehow still does.
His beautiful circus - his wonderful creation full of colour and noise and fun - is dull. The brilliant reds and yellows are dim reflections of themselves, and the entire map has a lower saturation than it should. There's large tears in the hitboxes of the walls, floors and ceiling, dropping into out-of-bounds areas that players shouldn't be able to see, let alone access. The gentle hum of background noise he keeps up for the daylight hours is gone, and everything is quiet except from the shuffles from the humans.
Talking of his humans, they're all there too, tense, standing a decent ways back from him.
"Oh great." Jax growls, "He was actually down there."
-------------
Despite being freed from his box, his performers still haven't reconnected him with the circus's main systems.
Caine's very being is entangled with the circus, and being cut off from the majority of himself is so disorienting he can barely focus on the glares his cast is giving him.Series

Summary
"Jax?" Pomni asks, eyes wide in alarm. She sounds like someone would when talking to a cornered animal, and it doesn't make her feel any better about the situation.
"I- I don't—" her voice crackles like static. One of her hands remain on the side of her face, and then she moves to cover her eyes, trembling. "I don't know what's- what's happening—"
Pomni's quiet for a moment. "What do you remember?"
"I don't know—"
She cuts herself off with a disbelieving laugh. She doesn't know. It's all so overwhelming she can't piece it together. The name Pomni's using for her doesn't feel real, even though there's a part of her saying that it is. Nothing feels real.
How did she end up here? What happened? What year is it? Wasn't she on the street? Didn't she come here because—
"I don't know," she cries, louder. "I don't know who I am! I don't know!"
(or: two months after her abstraction, jax reawakens, and she isn't the same.)
