Always have used ibisPaint x for my drawings and Alight Motion for the editing, both free 👍

Which means that the whole ‘ringmaster’ bit is something Caine came up with on his own. He was never instructed to care about what humans thought of him or how to keep them happy.

He just saw the very limited data he got from training (which didn’t even seem to have pictures of any actual humans or expressions of their emotions), met the humans who got transferred into the circus, and just…chose to love them. To care about them. Not in a very healthy way, sure (again, he had virtually zero guidance in regards to literally anything).

But still. There’s something so heartwrenching about him having a genuine interest in humans not because he was designed to entertain them for a game, but because he developed sentience and immediately began to admire these strange and wonderful creatures that were so different from him.
