The Psychology of a Broken AI by The_Spam_Specialist

Summary
It’s been a few days since The Favorite Character Awards.
Pomni has been through a number of bizarre things during her time in the circus. Candy truck chases, angel head horrors, minimum wage labor, athletic events, gun-filled battle royales. But none of these come close to what she witnesses on a seemingly innocent day full of beach-filled fun: Caine attempting to take his own life.
After managing to stop him, Pomni takes it upon herself (and is borderline forced to by Bubble) to help keep Caine’s mental state intact by engaging in improvised therapy sessions with him. After all, if Caine died, what would happen to the circus? And to the humans that lived within it? This was her only concern at first. But as Caine opens up to her more through these sessions, she realizes just how much the AI is hurting and how long he has been harboring these negative emotions.
Turns out Caine needs more help than she thought.
He's just as trapped in this game as they are. And worse.

Bookmarker's Notes
The Psychology of a Broken AI by the Spam_Specialist (The Amazing Digital Circus)
Gives Caine some much needed depth/sympathy that canon refuses to. Has an actual interesting relationship between Pomni and Caine. Filled with angst/drama that results in some pretty satisfying consequences.

Summary
The escape was fake. The hope wasn’t.
Everyone’s paying for it.
Even with his own mind fractured, Kinger is trying his best to hold the others together. Being a supportive presence is difficult when you’re barely present yourself, especially when certain people are showing all the signs of abstraction but refuse to say a word about it.
Jax is trying to keep everyone at arm’s length, but they just won’t stop reaching and every hand feels like it’s closing around his throat.
Pomni is still adjusting to her own digital existence as she tries to hang on to those she cares about, and Caine’s increasingly strange behavior isn’t really helping. She isn’t the only one starting to notice that their ringmaster AI has more beneath his perpetual showman’s smile than they’d ever thought to even look for.
How do you even make an AI understand that you can’t love something into stability? That love is the very thing breaking it?
Well, the humans are going to try anyway.
Because what else is there?

Summary
When Pomni approaches the other cast members with frantic descriptions of her room suddenly glitching out for no apparent reason, they're quick to either make her sound crazy (cough, JAX, cough) or reassure her that it was just a one-time thing. After all, nobody else experienced a glitch! Maybe it was just a fluke, Ragatha says. Pomni is not convinced.
It all comes to a head when Caine appears, loud and eager as ever, ready to start the day with another wacky adventure, but... since when does he emit heat like that? And why does he sound so strange?
OR
Pomni gets a rough start to her day, then she (and Zooble) learns something new and unexpected about the resident ringmaster.
