//the icon for the other ai being a piece of abstract art is soooo scratch coded ( lol ) i'm TELLING you. esp with a very specific visual connection being made between scratch and abstract art earlier in the episode, while kinger was talking about him. additionally, if remnants of the blue ai still exist, it would still be a part of caine, would it not? not a separate entity anymore ;; and the name "???" suggests to me that caine. doesn't know what the hell this thing is

he's long accepted that he can't leave the circus, but he HASN'T accepted that caine and his adventures are all there is for them.

the archetype jax assigned to him is " the smart one "

where kinger's memories are often too jumbled to tell everyone the truth of this place, scratch actively keeps his involvement with it a secret ( his memory isn't the best, either, but that's more a " brain tumor " thing than a " losing his mind " thing. )

for reference of his behavior around the others, it really is just abel. he tries to be dramatic and cool, but it rarely lands. he doesn't always explain himself ( and when he does, it's not very well ) instead opting to say shit like " you'll find out soon enough " and change the subject. like i said, he's just a dorky history teacher that's trying too hard.

❝ i wouldn't find the need to tell you 'i told you so' if you weren't so allergic to admitting i'm right. ❞

❝ there are better hills to die on but i find this one quite comfortable. ❞

❝ would you come with me please? i adore your company. ❞

❝ that's not the worst thing i've ever heard but it's certainly up there. ❞

❝ i would love to help you but i'm afraid i'm suffering from a terrible case of 'it's not my problem.' ❞

❝ could you just think about anyone other than yourself for once? ❞

❝ i'm not going to stand here and argue with you about how much you need to get some rest. if i find you passed out on the floor i'm leaving you there. ❞

❝ would you be a dear and shut the hell up. ❞

❝ i know i need help but i'm not quite ready to ask for it. ❞

❝ do you know where we're going or are we just trying to get lost now? ❞

❝ i have confided this in you, please do not betray that trust. ❞

❝ do you like it here? with me? ❞

❝ are you still happy? with me, i mean. with us. ❞

❝ i didn't lie, i simply presented a selective truth. ❞

❝ do you actually like spending time with me? because i feel like all you do is argue. ❞

❝ one of us will eventually have to have the strength to be honest with ourselves about each other. ❞

❝ i want to tell you something i just need a moment to figure out the right words. ❞

❝ if you were the religious type i would challenge god to win your devotion. ❞

❝ don't tell me to quit being melodramatic it's the only time i have any fun. ❞

《 i can't say the same for ʂƈ૨ąɬƈɧ. his ideas were often so bꭵꮓꭺꮢꮢꭼ and ᗩᗷsᖶᖇᗩᑢᖶ that the rest of the team had no idea how to work in his language.

either due to pure 𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆, or ... the 𝐓𝐔𝐌𝐎𝐑 in his head. 》
