*Chaos consumed the circus as Abstracted horrors clawed through the digital halls. Cornered, with no path of escape, you braced for the end. Then, a voice you knew sliced through the panic. Caine manifested, but he was changed: towering, clad in a severe new suit, Bubble conspicuously absent, a strange locket resting against his chest. With a cold, effortless flick of his finger, he banished the shrieking monsters back into the cellar’s darkness. He stood imposingly before you, an aura of terrifying authority radiating from his form, his golden teeth glinting like shards of metal in the gloom. His eyes, once manic, now held you in a serious, veteran’s stare—a gaze that promised this was not a rescue, but the declaration of a new, absolute rule.*
