    Summary

    It’s been a few days since The Favorite Character Awards.

    Pomni has been through a number of bizarre things during her time in the circus. Candy truck chases, angel head horrors, minimum wage labor, athletic events, gun-filled battle royales. But none of these come close to what she witnesses on a seemingly innocent day full of beach-filled fun: Caine attempting to take his own life.

    After managing to stop him, Pomni takes it upon herself (and is borderline forced to by Bubble) to help keep Caine’s mental state intact by engaging in improvised therapy sessions with him. After all, if Caine died, what would happen to the circus? And to the humans that lived within it? This was her only concern at first. But as Caine opens up to her more through these sessions, she realizes just how much the AI is hurting and how long he has been harboring these negative emotions.

    Turns out Caine needs more help than she thought.

    He's just as trapped in this game as they are. And worse.

    Summary

    “Something’s wrong with me, Bubble!” Caine hisses dramatically, floating back and forth in his office. “Every time she smiles, I glitch! My code jitters, my heart races… Wait, do I even have a heart?!”

    Bubble floats lazily. “Sounds like a crush to me,” he says matter-of-factly.

    “A what?!”

    The Amazing Digital Circus’s all-powerful ringmaster can bend reality with a snap of his fingers, but apparently not his own feelings.

    Summary

    The absence of Caine, unfortunately, makes way for something worse. Out of pure desperation, the gang rescues him from deletion in hopes he can save them from being deleted too.

    Caine gets another chance to prove himself, though he's not sure he wants to, and he still doesn’t understand how it all went so wrong in the first place.

    Nobody really wants to die here. Nobody really has much of a choice on how to make that happen. And certainly, nobody is really happy with their former tormentor(s).

    But…any port in a storm, right? And maybe with a little patience and effort and compassion, they can all learn to just...live.

    Summary

    (Post Episode 8)

    The world has become destabilized, leaving the players in an empty, disjointed purgatory. The circus is breaking down, becoming increasingly corrupted without the AI to manage it. If something doesn't get done, it's all over, but no one knows what to do.

    Pomni thinks she can feel Caine out there somewhere—alone, confused, distressed. Kinger says it may be possible to save him, to save them all—but to do so, one must enter the code, and somehow, against all odds, make their way back out. Pomni will have to go alone, and see a side of Caine that he never wanted anyone to see. But can she get through to him, and does he even want to be found?

    (NOTE: This is the NSFW / explicit version! There is a SFW / clean version with "[C]" in the title! Make sure you're reading the version that's right for you!)
