She tries to use the position to improve things for everyone in the Circus, but Caine isn't allowed to give them everything they want.

Caine, twenty years of awful feedback, him trying his best despite the mistreatment and a secret he'd keep no matter what.

The Issue with Stochastic Gradient Descent and Other Computing Terms that probably shouldn't be Mapped to Real Life by Anonymous
Fandoms: The Amazing Digital Circus (Web Series)
22 Jun 2026

Summary
Pomni wasn’t really sure what to expect when she threw her hat in the ring for Operation: RETRIEVE CAINE. All she knew was that someone had to do it, and she sure as fuck didn’t think any of the others would do it.
The entire thing hinged on the hope that his file still existed somewhere in the bin since for some reason, Kinger couldn’t just find the file directly from their new computer. Some explanation about indexes and file corruption that went over her head- but because of this, someone needed to be deleted and dropped into the bin to interact with him and hopefully get a file reference to him, so that hopefully, when they’re brought back, he (or at least something Caine-adjacent) gets dragged back as well.
Hopefully.
God, this is beyond fucked.
---
In a last-ditch attempt to stop the circus from falling apart, Pomni gets sent into the bin to retrieve Caine, which, if everything went well, should restore functionality to the Circus. It should be fine, probably- it’ll be just like some convoluted high stakes adventure! Easy-peasy lemon-squeezy.It’s too bad computers don’t really work like that.

Summary
It's a stage.
It's hard to tell in its dilapidated state. But he knows, instinctively, that he stands on a stage. Hardwood. Shining, once upon a time, he thinks. It's solid beneath his feet.
He taps a foot against it. He receives feedback; pressure against his sole, an audible clack in the air.
What a strange sensation.
--
A desperate act to save the circus leads to a haphazard reconstruction of Caine's corrupted code. But something is wrong. Now powerless and flooded with memories that do not belong to him, Caine believes he's another human.But if Caine thinks he's a human, and the players are busy trying to stop the circus from complete self-destruction, then who's the one running the show?

Felt-sama Faces An Uphill Struggle by Exstarsis (Re-Zero)
An interesting interpretation of a relationship that doesn’t get attention all that often, so it’s fun to see how intimacy would work with the dynamic the two share. It helps that both, especially Reinhard, show so much personality, that the smallest of details help to further flesh out their characters and help make the typical banter the two engage in so witty and entertaining.

Raise the Curtains by Zeivira (Re-Zero)
A bleak look in at a possible world that failed to rise to overcome the challenges ahead. Reinhard’s POV is hard to read, the weight of his perceived failures utterly crushing in its intensity. Subaru and Reinhard’s conversation, though brief, hints at a history that can only be felt, never to be recounted.

CAINE/OC Following Kaufmo's abstraction, the system recognizes a critical failure in The Amazing Digital Circus. An emergency override initiates the creation of a new AI designed to interpret human emotion. Incomplete and lacking the data it needs to function, it begins analyzing the correlation between human emotional responses and the system’s core entity—Caine. Primary Directive: establish a bridge between human emotion and Caine to stabilize human data.

Summary
Post ep 7
Caine isn't trying to hurt his humans, he really isn't. They're HIS humans after all. They belong to HIM. He loves them so so much and he just knows that they love him too.
They have to? Don't they?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
After the disaster that was his adventure in Episode 7, Caine decided that enough is enough and it's time to show his darling stars just how much he loves them. He'll do anything to show his humans how devoted to them he is and how devoted they should be to him!
But the more he falls into this obsession, the more the souls trapped in the Digital World begin to fear they may never leave and that their jailor has a whole darker side that fills them with both fear and longing.
Let's see where this leads, shall we?
