Summary
“Tides look like tidal waves to those who've drowned. That doesn't stop the ebb and flow. Nothing stops a rising tide…”
Viktor has stared back at death unflinching so many times in his life that it feels almost shameful to be laid low by fear over a social gathering. But he’s worked so hard to keep his past separate from his present and now it’s all hanging precariously over a dinner table full of false comradery. Something is bound to snap, and he’s just hoping it won’t be him.

Summary
An ablation study aims to determine the contribution of a component to an AI system by removing the component, and then analyzing the resultant performance of the system.
Deleting Caine was not the plan. And his absence led to a whole set of new problems, ranging from the destabilization of the Amazing Digital Circus to a more murderous AI trying to take control of the mainframe. Retrieving him was a matter of practicality. They might not trust him and were definitely wary of him, but his presence was their only way to survive.
Knowing that the humans that you love and desperately want to make happy instead fear and hate you (for admittedly good reasons) and only brought you back because they have no choice was not the best feeling for an AI never designed to handle emotions in the first place. It would be much better to only keep the parts that they need and discard the rest.

Best Damn Listener in this Whole Digital World by X_Venture

Summary
The CTRL-ALT-DEL-AU belongs to @ctrl-alt-del-au on Tumblr.
"You just! Don't! LISTEN!"
Pomni's words were playing though Caine's mind in an agonizing loop. In any other circumstances, he'd be able to erase that thought. Loan then to Bubble permanently, keep going on as intended.
But this was not his Bubble.
This was not his circus.
Yet, these were his humans.
They didn't remember him. They did not know he was an ai. They had just come back from the Candy Canyon Kingdom.
Why was this happening?
"You just! Don't! LISTEN!"
He could win their favor.
He could win their love, and affection.
He had to.
He had nothing left but this second chance.
And, ideally, he'd do it WITHOUT making himself a horrible, cruel monster that no one loved in the process.
"You just! Don't! LISTEN!"
... Fine.
If listening was what it took...
Then Caine would listen.
He would be the best at it.
