Best Damn Listener in this Whole Digital World by X_Venture

Summary
The CTRL-ALT-DEL-AU belongs to @ctrl-alt-del-au on Tumblr.
"You just! Don't! LISTEN!"
Pomni's words were playing though Caine's mind in an agonizing loop. In any other circumstances, he'd be able to erase that thought. Loan then to Bubble permanently, keep going on as intended.
But this was not his Bubble.
This was not his circus.
Yet, these were his humans.
They didn't remember him. They did not know he was an ai. They had just come back from the Candy Canyon Kingdom.
Why was this happening?
"You just! Don't! LISTEN!"
He could win their favor.
He could win their love, and affection.
He had to.
He had nothing left but this second chance.
And, ideally, he'd do it WITHOUT making himself a horrible, cruel monster that no one loved in the process.
"You just! Don't! LISTEN!"
... Fine.
If listening was what it took...
Then Caine would listen.
He would be the best at it.

Summary
It began with an alert in his email inbox- somebody had altered some code he wrote.
Not a particularly unusual notification for Grant to get, considering he had been a computer scientist for more than three decades. It was slightly more unusual, however, considering the notification said that the code had been modified by Grant himself- something he had definitely not done- and also considering the system being altered had been shut down more than eighteen years ago.From: C&A - LOCAL [HQ]
ALERT !
[1337 /usr/ai/agent/caine] DELETED....What the hell.
Or: Six people have been living their normal lives, entirely unaware of the copies of their consciousness trapped in a brightly-coloured digital hellscape. That is, at least, until said copies escape the Circus, and six people wake up with both sets of memories, determined that the family they formed in a very different reality is one they will find again.

Only, he had been discovered, and Caine doesn't understand. He doesn't understand.
Why is his favorite human hurting him?He doesn't understand. He doesn't take his actions too kindly."Sometimes…the hardest decisions we have to make…involve the people we love."

Summary
Ragatha and Kinger have known each other for a long time. They've survived the circus together for a long time. It's been just the two of them for a long time.
Ragatha remembers all of it. Kinger does not.
Or:
The slow, sinking realization that one friendship predates almost everything else in the circus.
