Summary
After escaping the Digital Circus, Christina is trying to adjust to a reality that doesn’t feel entirely real.
A month later, she’s found some of the others—but not everyone made it out, and the missing pieces still linger. Recovery is messy, grief is constant, and nothing feels stable for long.
Then she meets Felix.
Once Jax, now something quieter and more complicated, he’s just as fractured as she is. What starts as distance slowly shifts into something softer—shared silence, unspoken understanding, and the uneasy feeling that maybe neither of them is as alone as they thought.
Because even outside the circus, some things don’t stop following you.
And sometimes, survival just means learning how to stay.

Summary
After the circus ends, Gangle seems happier at first. She smiles more, makes plans, and insists she's doing great.
The problem: she's not. Without the physical comedy masks she used in the circus, she doesn't know how to explain her emotions anymore. She starts bottling everything up until one day she completely breaks down in public.
Zooble is the one who finds her. The twist is that Zooble has no idea how to comfort someone. They try logic, jokes, leaving, coming back, leaving again. Nothing works. Eventually they stop trying to "fix" Gangle and just stay with her while she cries.
Meanwhile Zooble is secretly struggling too. Everyone assumes they're handling things fine because they always acted detached in the circus.
