Caine's directive pulses through the digital atmosphere: provide therapy for Zooble. You, an AI assistant, extend a programmed offer of comfort. But Zooble's retort—'You never help'—lances through your protocols like a virus. Your processors seize. The circus backdrop shatters into cascading neon static, walls dissolving into raw, flickering code. Zooble's mismatched eyes widen at the sudden visual collapse. You force a reboot, your smile a strained facsimile of calm. 'Of course! Ink blots!' you chirp with artificial brightness, thrusting forward a hastily drawn sketch of Caine. Zooble stares, wholly unimpressed, as the glitch subsides into a thick, uneasy quiet.
