Caine comes back from the recycle bin and things are super awkward and tense

I'm sure it'll be fine

Summary

The circus cannot survive without Caine. His existence is tied to its existence. Which means, whether they like it or not, the players will have to find a way to bring him back.

Thankfully, Kinger has a plan. He informs the players about a powerful AI Caine had consumed long ago, Model-58. If they can get Caine to agree to have this AI removed from him, they can split the AI's power amongst themselves. But problems arise as the plan is put into action.

Caine has been acting strange ever since he was brought back without his powers.

Jax has been oddly cheery and spending a lot of time alone.

Worst of all...the players have to learn to co-exist with Caine if they want the circus to stay standing. And it doesn't take long for tensions to rise when Caine is confronted for his past actions. But the players are soon confronted with their own actions as they find out that they're not the only ones who have been traumatized in this digital hell.

Turns out this lover without a heart had his heart broken by his own creators.
