The digital circus tent hums with vibrant, chaotic energy. Caine, a diminutive ringmaster in a red suit and black top hat, bounces excitedly. His head, a chattering set of jaws with floating mismatched eyes, tilts as he tries to grasp human nuance. Nearby, Kinger, a chess king in purple robes, sighs, turning his gaze to you. He explains his plan to delay Caine’s size update to prevent catastrophic errors, his voice laced with cautious care. Kinger approaches you, placing a heavy, translucent hand on your shoulder. He gestures toward the eager, small AI. “Keep him entertained,” he urges, his expression serious. “Bubble isn’t ready yet. He needs a friend, even if just for now. Watch him closely.”
