    Summary

    A few weeks after stabilizing the Circus and coming to terms with their permanent life there, the gang agrees to bring Caine back- on the condition that Kinger rewrites his code and removes his power over the world.

    Caine awakens to find himself on relatively equal footing with humans for the first time in his life. Can he learn to listen and understand them now that he's no longer bound to his program's original purpose? Will the humans ever be able to truly forgive him for everything he's done to them? Can anything truly change?

    Featuring Caine trying human things, found family bonding, and a healthy dose of angst while everyone processes their various traumas and learns to accept this new world they're making together. Or tries to, anyway.

    Summary

    An AI has had the privilege to oversee his creation and the humans that call it home for far longer than expected. Mercifully granted time to treasure a life of care and love, all that he had strived to learn of.
    For all these years, he has been responsible with his godhood... one limited by metal and circuitry, enclosed in a simulation. His very being is a cage, a decaying terminal that time will not spare.

    How can he save the ones he loves from a fate that he cannot escape?
