    Summary

    He could still feel their hands on him. Grabbing, tugging, pulling. The tearing of flesh. Their cruel laughter still ringing in his ears.

    His head throbbed and his chest rose and fell rapidly, the only sound in his room being his shallow breaths and occasional sobs. His vision swam with images of them superimposed all around his room, every dark corner housing one of their shadows, sitting there, lying in wait, leering at him through the black.

    Jax slinks off immediately after Kinger accidentally deletes Caine. Pomni goes to seek him out, worried what he might do to himself in the quiet of his room when he thinks no one's looking, trying to suppress her own pain, not wanting to think about it right now, or ever again. She comes up with something to distract him with, Jax is surprised by how much he enjoys it, trying to reason away his own feelings all the while

    Summary

    “Hiding something? What, no! I wouldn’t – I’d never – ”

    “You know what? ƒμ©* it.” With a huff, Zooble yanked at the tablet in Ragatha’s hands, hard. Pomni caught how the little seams fixing Ragatha’s arms to her shoulders flexed, threatening to give way. She had to let go before Zooble ripped her forearms clean off. Zooble swiped through the tablet almost angrily as they muttered, “I don’t even know what you’re so pressed about. It’s not like your derby rider was that pretentious about – ”

    Zooble cut themself off and went very, very silent.

    Pomni’s mouth went dry. Dryer than it’d been even after a stress of time without real water. She watched, scared for a reason she couldn’t place, as both of Zooble’s detachable eyes widened. She could have sworn that their hot pink face turned almost salmon for a quick second before returning to its original shade. They set down the tablet and turned.

    “Ragatha,” they said slowly, “why does the catalogue of NPCs include a mock-up of Jax?”

    Summary

    "Caine was gone.

    "It had been quick, the deletion. Jax hadn’t even realized it until Kinger had walked up to all of them and told them the news. Seeing him go had been odd; one second he was there, full of pent up rage and bruised ego, and the next he had just.. Disappeared.

    "Jax was supposed to be happy, wasn’t he? The pain, the torture, all of those cruel adventures were over. But throwing the AI in the trash bin once and for all didn’t feel any more like a win than it did a stalemate.

    "The circus had dimmed and parts had fallen apart, all until the place had looked like a toxic wasteland: bleak and devoid of color. ‘Finally,” Jax tried to crack a joke to himself, maybe because he couldn’t bear the gaping quiet standing in the room and needed someone to make it seem better. ‘An exterior that represents its true colors.’

    "Frankly, Jax didn’t know what to do. None of them did".

    Summary

    Over a year ago, the group escaped the circus.
    Several months later, Jax attempted to take his own life, only to be saved by the people he swore hated him.
    Things have been better lately, he thinks, after he started therapy. He finds that he likes talking about these sorts of things, if you can believe it. Feels nice to get that gunk out, to remove the gross parts of him that he never dared touch before. Unfortunately for him, though, there's still a lot more than needs to come out.

    Or
    Author wanted to write some short drabbles about Jax's time in therapy after the events of "That Sort of Thing."

    Summary

    Jax had been through a lot. That was for certain. There were endless examples he could go through. So many times this stupid world had tried to [BLEEP] him over, and so many times he hadn’t let it. So many times he had. So many stupid things he’d done.

    But almost abstracting? That was a new one.
