    Summary

    Life is different in the Circus after Caine's reappearance, after Jax's...
    Pomni is getting by, they all are, but deep down she knows there's a pit in her heart that was yanked out and wants desperately to put it back. When the Circus starts to break down due to factors outside their control, some of the Circus members decide to travel to the edge of the void to seek help, and potentially even insight into what abstraction really is.

    Summary

    "Can you tell me more about the circus?"

    Christine hesitated. Nobody had believed in the existence of the circus so far. She had talked about it briefly the start of her therapy journey but stopped as soon as she realised the therapist very obviously thought she was crazy.

    "I don't know what to say, really." Christine shrugged.

    "Anything you want, Christine. This is a safe space." Christine didn't feel really safe.

    What did the therapist want her to say? That she still had nightmares about abstracting? Losing her mind and being sent away in a dark hole full of nothing but glowing colourful eyes, just like Kaufmo before her? That she couldn't fall asleep at night because there was a chance she could wake up there again? That she could still see her cartoon jester face in the mirror after a particularly stressful day? That despite everything that had happened she still couldn't be mad at Caine for what he did to her because he was just a bunch of codes and pixels?

    She didn't want to say any of those things. She knew Dr. Wilson wouldn't understand. Nobody could. Nobody except...well...but that didn't matter. They weren't here.

    Summary

    CONTAINS EPISODE 9 SPOILERS

    ////////////////////

    There was silence. The only voice that constantly echoed in that room was Pomni's. Reading, chatting. Anything to help Jax feel less alone. Although, he didn't know if it was doing much good. The abstracted state he was in prevented him from letting her know. Was there any way to reverse it? If he hugged him again, would he finally be able to see him and do things right? Wouldn't he die trying?... Did he even care? And suddenly, just one action was enough to know which path he wanted to take.
