Summary
There are many ways to deal with the unpleasant emotions that can threaten to pull someone down into the darkest depths of their mind. One of the healthiest ways you can cope with those feelings is through social interaction. Being around the people you care about. Being cared for in return.
Pomni has that support structure. She has a wonderful family in the Amazing Digital Circus who will always be there to pull her out of the darkness and keep her from self isolation. But sometimes, it's not enough. Sometimes, even your closest friends can't light the way. Loss is tough to deal with, especially when you're not entirely sure what you lost in the first place.
Social coping mechanisms aren't always healthy. Sometimes, they can threaten to deteriorate your psyche and spiral you further into the blackest void. It all depends on who you spend your time with. You need to make sure you find the right person to help you in your time of need.
Pomni is sinking. She is desperate to find that person. Desperate enough to do something that could threaten to pull her down even further.
And Caine is watching it happen.
Because he's convinced he can still fix everything.
