    Summary

    It's a stage.

    It's hard to tell in its dilapidated state. But he knows, instinctively, that he stands on a stage. Hardwood. Shining, once upon a time, he thinks. It's solid beneath his feet.

    He taps a foot against it. He receives feedback; pressure against his sole, an audible clack in the air.

    What a strange sensation.

    --
    A desperate act to save the circus leads to a haphazard reconstruction of Caine's corrupted code. But something is wrong. Now powerless and flooded with memories that do not belong to him, Caine believes he's another human.

    But if Caine thinks he's a human, and the players are busy trying to stop the circus from complete self-destruction, then who's the one running the show?

    Summary

    No, it could not possibly be cruel, they were bringing him back from the dead, this was a kindness.

    This belief was eventually reinforced when it was time to bring Caine back. The process, surprisingly, was incredibly simple. The circus worked just like any other computer system, with deleted items just ending up in the recycle bin. It had luckily not been long enough for Caine to be properly deleted.
    It was just a matter of dragging his code out of there, making some minor modifications so he couldn't go on a rampage again, and spawning his model into the prepared room.

    There was no fuss, everything seemed to be running perfectly.

    No one considered that maybe that isolated room near the end of the hallway was just out of earshot.

    Aka, Caine gets brought back, but in a spare room, and ends up getting tortured by complete accident because no one realizes that might be a bad idea

    Summary

    After Caine was deleted, Kinger brings him back from the recycling bin with the glitched autosave. After the cast begins to question Caine on his reasoning, Caine panics and reuses the autosave, creating a time loop (of sorts). After that... well you'll have to find out.
