Summary
An ablation study aims to determine the contribution of a component to an AI system by removing the component, and then analyzing the resultant performance of the system.
Deleting Caine was not the plan. And his absence led to a whole set of new problems, ranging from the destabilization of the Amazing Digital Circus to a more murderous AI trying to take control of the mainframe. Retrieving him was a matter of practicality. They might not trust him and were definitely wary of him, but his presence was their only way to survive.
Knowing that the humans that you love and desperately want to make happy instead fear and hate you (for admittedly good reasons) and only brought you back because they have no choice was not the best feeling for an AI never designed to handle emotions in the first place. It would be much better to only keep the parts that they need and discard the rest.

Summary
SOULMATE AU. “Inked” people are rare, and can communicate with their Soulmates by marking their own skin. Elizabeth is reluctant to meet her Soulmate. He appears cold and dull and— dare she say it— conceited. Darcy, on the other hand, is thrilled with his Soulmate, and can’t wait to meet her. Regency, fluff and misunderstandings.
