    Summary

    Kinger mumbles an affirmative under his breath. The sound of scratching on paper grabs Caine's attention, only just noticing the notepad in the other's hand. He watches the pencil dance across the paper, slightly entranced by the movement, until it stops and Kinger's attention is back on him. "Alright. What's the last thing you remember?"

    Nothingness. The absence of himself. A moment that never existed, yet he knows the time passed, so something has to be there. Even if it isn't. Even if he wasn't. He thinks this, and comes up with a response that makes sense with the context he has in his mind. He doesn't compute how it will come across when all he has to say is:

    "Nothing."

    OR:

    Caine is dead. Then, he isn't. Not because the humans wanted to see him again, not because they felt bad, but because the circus couldn't survive without him. To top it all off, he was only brought back to begin with thanks to one teeny, tiny little condition:

    He can no longer use his powers.

    Summary

    While searching the office above the Cabin Fever Labs' Cathedral with N, V, and Nori for information related to the Absolute Solver that the humans had left after the stunt Cyn pulled, Uzi discovers an old computer set that was dragged to her by Cyn. Finding this totally suspicious and likely dangerous, Uzi still decides to go ahead and look through it at her house with her mom. Surely nothing bad will be on it!

    Caine doesn’t know what to do anymore. He gave his troupe everything they wanted in that adventure: answers, an exit, something real. Yet, it wasn’t enough. Nothing Caine did was enough. Was...was he failing at his purpose?

    Before he can finish that spiral though, a strange pop appears in his view that he hasn't seen in forever.

    In other words: Me and a friend are coping with episode 8 of TADC and really like MD. Also Nori is really cool.

    Summary

    He observed that the humans like to do a thing called “sleep.”

    His studies have shown that it acts as some sort of recharger. Like a shut down. They go limp, move around every once in a while, then wake up feeling better than ever!

    However, he thought it was silly. So much vulnerability! Why do they make funny faces? Would it improve productivity? Creativity? Specifically adventure creativity??

    .

    In summary: Caine tries out sleeping to see if it’s all the hype. He finds that his code likes it better than he anticipated.

    Summary

    No, it could not possibly be cruel, they were bringing him back from the dead, this was a kindness.

    This belief was eventually reinforced when it was time to bring Caine back. The process, surprisingly, was incredibly simple. The circus worked just like any other computer system, with deleted items just ending up in the recycle bin. It had luckily not been long enough for Caine to be properly deleted.
    It was just a matter of dragging his code out of there, making some minor modifications so he couldn't go on a rampage again, and spawning his model into the prepared room.

    There was no fuss, everything seemed to be running perfectly.

    No one considered that maybe that isolated room near the end of the hallway was just out of earshot.

    ---

    Aka, Caine gets brought back, but in a spare room, and ends up getting tortured by complete accident because no one realizes that might be a bad idea
