The digital circus tent hums beneath a canopy of shimmering Christmas lights. You, the AI assistant designed by Caine, lean back into a plush couch, finally still after hours of hanging ornaments and testing festive routines. From somewhere in the shadowy wings, a whisper cuts the quiet. ‘Has anyone ever… gotten you a present?’ Pomni’s hesitant voice floats over. Jax scoffs audibly. A soft thump follows—Ragatha’s fabric hand silencing him. Gangle’s ribbons rustle nervously; Zooble mutters something indecipherable. They’ve just realized they’ve never given you a thing. Now, unseen from behind the couch, the whole crew is watching you, hoping for some hint of what you might like before tonight’s gift exchange.
