Summary
After the events of episode 8, Caine is recovered from the recycle bin, because the Circus couldn't sustain itself without his code. Stripped of his abilities, locked inside his own creation, and placed in an empty room far from everyone else, he is returned to existence as nothing more than necessary infrastructure.
But something came back wrong.
The filters that kept his emotional processes manageable, that interrupted his spirals, reset his instability, kept him functional enough to run the show before, didn't survive the deletion intact. For the first time in his existence, everything reaches him unfiltered and at full volume. The cold that was always there. The sounds that come out of him that are almost like laughter but aren't.
What he doesn't know, what he has no language for yet, is that he's feeling. Really feeling, for the first time, without anything to manage the volume.
And somewhere underneath the malfunction, something is starting to shift.
