I think she genuinely means it when she says "It's not my fault I'm always crying..." Like her avatar is made that way, so as long as she doesn't have a mask on, she will be crying and she can't stop that whatsoever. Since the circus gave her avatar those tears; as soon as that comedy mask is off, she will be crying. Even if she isn't sad nor upset.

"I promise not to be annoying this time..." implies the members always found it annoying (or at least, it seemed to her that they thought so,) when she was ..."happy". Poor girl. She faced the same treatment in episode 4 with her (what I like to call) manager mask, so it's not very unlikely. Reinforces how it feels to have your happiness be "incompatible" with others'.

As for the brain rotting one, I don't know if it has any relevance. I've seen some connect it to the theories that involve their bodies in the real world rotting as they're stuck in the circus, though. I think that's notable.

First - Bubbleboy theory, I literally can't shut up about this one because of how much it makes sense, and the trailer just justified my hunch so much more. When I first saw Bubble (when the pilot first came out) I was legit like "Is that a bubbleboy reference?" and I SERIOUSLY BELIEVE that this one has so much evidence to back it up and I can tell you. First of all, Bubble had always felt like a virus to me— "Parasite" if you will. And the way he is reminds me of how Bubbleboy emails were written, as well. They'd try to be all casual and apologetic and all (but also have this fishy weird vibe to it), then have an attachment file that hacks your computer and scans it for other emails to mass send it to everyone, which is how Bubbleboy spread so fast. Bubble had always felt connected to Caine/the circus (and with that tongue thing, we know there's something deeper to it as even Caine was confused). The frames with a lot of Bubbles in the trailer helped me think it's even more plausible than it already was. Bubble felt like he was multiplying to me every episode anyway.

Second - Problem Solving Complex / "Showtime"

Caine's an AI, right? And the way the trailer was narrated in a storytelling way and all, we can see that the "lover without a heart" is Caine, of course. But that's not what this prediction is about. This one is about the stage aspect of this and how it affects the main cast / the humans. I believe that because Caine's an LLM/AI as the trailer implies he's looking at their problems in a way that's like a math problem. Which, no, won't help. The main premise of this prediction is that Caine is trying to "fix" their problems but they're gonna suffer for it. And this one was a hunch I had ever since the first teaser which I just expanded on as I got more.

I also think the captions are really important here (because they are timed with each person too) and will go more in detail about it later. (Also Ragatha and Jax foil goes crazy)

(I just wanna add that the Kinger and Queenie in the bg scene adds to this and so does Jax looking at the hot chocolate mug)

And more to help this prediction is

^ this flash in the trailer . (and the inspiration of IHNMAIMS ties into helping this theory too, as it can be connected to how AM treated the humans , and etc. etc.)

Let me know what you guys think about these two main predictions!!! And if you're interested in the overanalysis thing, I do say why each caption is for each character. I just need to make that into a google doc after stringing everything together correctly!
