    Or "The Amazing Digital Circus: Delete/Corruption"

    This started off as a personal vent, and some exploration of the the TADC crew after e8... But Caine did not directly delete. He's in the recycling bin. With Pomni? Huh, how curious. I am also, for some reason, absolutely smitten with the idea of Showtime, so there's that. 😈

    5-28-26: (okay, so no one was going to tell me that I was time traveling to August?) ANYwho, finally decided on the name. You, uh, you you say the name of the .hack stuff. And I don't even think I explained why, even. Well, simply put, Caine got deleted, in-canon... but here he didn't. He got _almost_ deleted. Files that are partially deleted... they're just corrupt, are they not? So, yeah. I also kinda wanted to emphasize how that changes not only him, but everyone else. Because no character is coming out unscathed. Like... NO one. Everything changes. Everything corrupts. :P

    6-22-26: Aaaaaand here we are. (E9 is the fook AMAZEBALLS, btw...) And, as such... ... Three days again, bby! Whooooo! (That's, uh, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.) Need that extra day, or else finishing this is going to take... well, two whole ass years like the original TADC. XD
