    Summary

    The circus cannot survive without Caine. His existence is tied to its existence. Which means, whether they like it or not, the players will have to find a way to bring him back.

    Thankfully, Kinger has a plan. He informs the players about a powerful AI Caine had consumed long ago, Model-58. If they can get Caine to agree to have this AI removed from him, they can split the AI's power amongst themselves. But problems arise as the plan is put into action.

    Caine has been acting strange ever since he was brought back without his powers.

    Jax has been oddly cheery and spending a lot of time alone.

    Worst of all...the players have to learn to co-exist with Caine if they want the circus to stay standing. And it doesn't take long for tensions to rise when Caine is confronted for his past actions. But the players are soon confronted with their own past actions as they find out that they're not the only ones who have been traumatized in this digital hell.

    Turns out this lover without a heart had his heart broken by his own creators.

    Summary

    Once Abel has gotten used to being in charge of the Circus, he summons the humans to the stage to explain how things are going to work around here now. He uses Caine to help explain *just* how different things are going to be.

    Pomni never liked Caine all that much, but that doesn't mean she wants to watch him be *whipped* and *tortured*.

    Summary

    A week.

    That's how long it takes to delete Abel. It's... Surprisingly easy, with the AI barely having a grasp on the circus code, it doesn't take much.

    ...

     

    A week, is all it takes for him to break Caine.

    (Or, when Caine gets deleted, and the circus starts to collapse, a new AI takes Caine's place and he isn't so quick to forget that Caine absorbed him) Based on the Backup Au

    Summary

    Kinger mumbles an affirmative under his breath. The sound of scratching on paper grabs Caine's attention, only just noticing the notepad in the other's hand. He watches the pencil dance across the paper, slightly entranced by the movement, until it stops and Kinger's attention is back on him. "Alright. What's the last thing you remember?"

    Nothingness. The absence of himself. A moment that never existed, yet he knows the time passed, so something has to be there. Even if it isn't. Even if he wasn't. He thinks this, and comes up with a response that makes sense with the context he has in his mind. He doesn't compute how it will come across when all he has to say is:

    "Nothing."

    OR:

    Caine is dead. Then, he isn't. Not because the humans wanted to see him again, not because they felt bad, but because the circus couldn't survive without him. To top it all off, he was only brought back to begin with thanks to one teeny, tiny little condition:

    He can no longer use his powers.
