    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

    A week.

    That's how long it takes to delete Abel. It's... Surprisingly easy, with the AI barely having a grasp on the circus code, it doesn't take much.

    ...

     

    A week, is all it takes for him to break Caine.

    Summary

    After the end of the world, five survivors of AM’s endless torture awaken inside a strange digital world inhabited by an eccentric performer who has no idea humanity is long dead.

    As fear, paranoia, and old trauma bleed into the circus, Caine struggles to keep control of a world never designed to withstand something like AM.

     

    (Re-wrote the summary, because the old one was too general.)

    Summary

    Once Abel has gotten used to being in charge of the Circus, he summons the humans to the stage to explain how things are going to work around here now. He uses Caine to help explain *just* how different things are going to be.

    Pomni never liked Caine all that much, but that doesn't mean she wants to watch him be *whipped* and *tortured*.

    Summary

    Complete and absolute deletion would mean the end of the circus. It still stood, even if torn. However, without a fully functional AI attached to its framework, it is bound to slowly fall apart.
    The former ruling AI hopes, from the bottom of his nonexistent heart, that his dear humans may find a solution and worthy substitute... before the deletion timer hits zero.

    -----------

    AKA: Cain ends up in the recycling bin. He won't be there for long, however. A terminal is soon retrieved by the humans: Any restored files are sent back to their original drive. Perhaps a fate worse than deletion.
