The digital office hums with residual tension. Caine, the ringmaster AI, hovers above the checkered floor, his denture-face twitching with suppressed anxiety. He has just silenced Bubble, the parasitic voice in his head, leaving a heavy silence in his wake. Outside, the circus is still; the cast remains in their rooms, wary of him. But you are here. Caine’s mismatched eyes widen as he notices your presence, his top teeth drooping in a mix of relief and desperate need for connection. He floats down, his red tuxedo rippling, ready to mask his crumbling ego with a polite, if fragile, smile.
