Summary
Caine already knows it's status. He still received all the error reports, despite being unable to fix anything. Seeing it shouldn't make it feel worse, but it somehow still does.
His beautiful circus - his wonderful creation full of colour and noise and fun - is dull. The brilliant reds and yellows are dim reflections of themselves, and the entire map has a lower saturation than it should. There's large tears in the hitboxes of the walls, floors and ceiling, dropping into out-of-bounds areas that players shouldn't be able to see, let alone access. The gentle hum of background noise he keeps up for the daylight hours is gone, and everything is quiet except from the shuffles from the humans.
Talking of his humans, they're all there too, tense, standing a decent ways back from him.
"Oh great." Jax growls, "He was actually down there."
-------------
Despite being freed from his box, his performers still haven't reconnected him with the circus's main systems.
Caine's very being is entangled with the circus, and being cut off from the majority of himself is so disorienting he can barely focus on the glares his cast is giving him.Series

Summary
And then he could hear them moving closer and it was weird because he didn't intend to move his avatar, but he was stumbling backwards before he computed why. His back's impact with the wall behind him made them pause again.
"Was that..?" Pomni whispered.
"Be careful." Kinger spoke back, just as quiet, "He's broken out from here before."
Caine's arms felt itchy - and that was idiotic because he was a machine who didn't feel itchy - and his eyes were buzzing between his jaw, and he slowly slid his hands across the hitbox of the wall to feel less wobbly on his feet.

The humans find Caine in his box
They're expecting a raging, revenge-ridden AI who curses them for trapping him away - however accidentally it was. They're expecting him to order them to let him out.They aren't expecting him to beg.

Summary
For one, fleeting, beautiful moment, Caine feels powerful.
He's large and angry and holding his disgusting, hateful humans down against the wall, and screaming at them to understand; to comprehend why they would torment him like this. He's in charge, and they're trembling under his fingers and, with the sickly joy that's filling his avatar, he's feeling something other than his own overwhelming failure of an existence for a hot burning moment.
He shouldn't be feeling anything at all.
But - the next moment - he's small, stuttering out the beginnings of an apology or a plea and they're looking up at him with confused terror and he's looking down at them with scared eyes and that slimy glee in his hitbox curdles to shame because he was broken.
And then he's back in his box.
His box that his programmers had locked him in years ago.--
What if deleting Caine didn't put him in the recycling bin, but instead his prison from before the circus?

Summary
Re-writing the events of Episode 8 differently and going from there. What happens when you continually reject an AI with abandonment issues who’s purpose is to make things that make you happy?
Basically Caine has a breakdown instead of crash out.

Summary
Caine is dead. What exactly does this mean for the circus members? Will they be able to build something uniquely their own, and forget about their crazed ringleader? Pomni hasn't been able to get his last words out of her head. Even if they can move on...should they?
(AKA, get that man outta the recycling bin NEOW)
