    Summary

    Grant, a 47-year-old technology magnate and founder of C&A, is going through a divorce from his wife Queenie and lives for visits with his young daughter. One day he takes her to «The Amazing Digital Circus,» where the ringmaster, a man with mismatched eyes and theatrical flair named Caine, steals his passport just to learn his name. Grant is furious, but the incident sets off a chain of events: Caine starts waiting for him outside his office, they flee a café without paying, and slowly begin to grow closer. Grant invites Caine to an art gallery, where he tries to introduce him to culture, while Caine's spontaneity melts the ice between them.

    Summary

    [SLIGHT SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING OF TADC FINALE, READ WITH PRECAUTION!!!]
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    After all the torment and anguish of the most recent events, it had begun to feel as normal as life could get in such a place. The friends they had lost to abstraction, the traumatising adventures, Jax... the pain had eased, a sting that was slowly dwindling everyday as they made the circus feel truly like a home rather than a prison. The members began to forgive Caine after he had shown himself to have truly changed, becoming a good friend to many of them, his mood was always rather chipper nowadays besides from a few meltdowns here and there, although usually triggered by personal frustrations rather than critisism. Life had truly started to turn around...

    Although, what will everyone do once the AI contracts a virus that his system just cant detect quick enough?

    Summary

    The circus cannot survive without Caine. His existence is tied to its existence. Which means, whether they like it or not, the players will have to find a way to bring him back.

    Thankfully, Kinger has a plan. He informs the players about a powerful AI Caine had consumed long ago, Model-58. If they can get Caine to agree to have this AI removed from him, they can split the AI's power amongst themselves. But problems arise as the plan is put into action.

    Caine has been acting strange ever since he was brought back without his powers.

    Jax has been oddly cheery and spending a lot of time alone.

    Worst of all...the players have to learn to co-exist with Caine if they want the circus to stay standing. And it doesn't take long for tensions to rise when Caine is confronted for his past actions. But the players are soon confronted with their own past actions as they find out that they're not the only ones who have been traumatized in this digital hell.

    Turns out this lover without a heart had his heart broken by his own creators.
