Oh, and ofc this is for #ArtWeeklies as well!

Also : spoiler

Since the Abstracted are more comfortable in the dark, that suggests Cain is actually being kind to the Abstracted, not cruel.

That combined with the fact that Caine genuinely seems to believe (or at least forces himself to believe) that everyone enjoys it in the Digital Circus in Caine Zoobles therapy session, suggests that he might actually be rather sympathetic.

Also, additionally, Kinger said the worst thing you can do is make someone feel like they aren't valued. So like- what if that's how Caines going to feel?

Because in the same episode- wait... can Caine abstract???

The whole world went glitchy when he started to have an existential crisis which makes me wonder. It probably wouldn't work quite the same as the others since Caine is canonically an AI program, but maybe something similar to Abstraction could happen!

Lots of interesting food for thought!
