Summary
Jax feels empty and overwhelmed all at the same time after recent events. So he does what he knows best; push it down and out to everyone else. What he didn't expect was for that to backfire in a near deadly way.
Alternatively,
It takes almost abstracting and pushing everyone away for Jax to realize that something needs to change.

Survive the Digital Sacrifice by The_Spam_Specialist

Summary
Years ago, a now-defunct company known as C&A created a virtual reality video game called "The Amazing Digital Circus" featuring a highly advanced ringmaster guide. However, the game was boycotted and the project was scrapped when several beta testers mysteriously died while in the game. Not many details about these strange deaths are known, but rumor has it that the ringmaster AI within the game was responsible for the player deaths.
In present day, a 25-year-old woman finds herself the victim of a kidnapping. A strange group of people force a headset on her and send her into The Amazing Digital Circus game to be sacrificed to the rogue AI ringmaster. With a new jester appearance, she finds a group of fellow kidnapping victims who have formed a group of survivors with the goal of finding The Ringmaster and killing him, believing it will grant them their exit from the digital world.
However, one day, Pomni comes face-to-face with The Ringmaster himself. Or as he calls himself, Caine. And she realizes that...maybe the others have it all wrong. Maybe The Ringmaster wasn't the monster they believed him to be.
What was the truth behind the deaths that occurred in this world? What were these...abstractions?

Summary
Months after Caine's accident, the circus is thriving. Everyone has gotten much closer since discovering Caine's true identity, and Caine himself has recovered nicely. And not having any responsibilities he's much less stressed.
Now the sole admin of the Circus, Kinger is working on a way to undo the abstractions. He's already greatly improved life in the circus by remodeling the place and reducing the amount of adventures, but the thing that everyone wants is to bring back their lost friends and loved ones.
And maybe along the way the Bauer family can get justice for themselves.

Summary
Caine has worked tirelessly to create a written list of facts about every circus member. Even with his broken memory, he has managed to make friends with everyone in the circus, constantly reviewing his notes to make sure he doesn't forget anything about them.
And then there's Jax.
Jax yearns for the days before Caine befriended the people in the circus. Before, the circus was a source of chaos and wild entertainment. Now, it was about friendship and being open about your feelings and spending time with each other. The chaotic flair that Jax had thrived on was gone. All because of that stupid list.
It was time for things to go back to the way things were. Jax would make it so Caine would never want to be friends with the circus members again. Caine had built himself up. And Jax was going to break him down.

Summary
"The toothpaste tube theory is a jocular metaphor stating that increasing pressure eventually forces some sort of release, just as when one squeezes a toothpaste tube, toothpaste comes out. It is used to explain social and political behavior, as well as relationships involving abstract concepts. Moreover, it is often used in metaphors to describe irreversible processes, since getting toothpaste out of a tube is easy, while reinserting it back into the tube is next to impossible."

Why would Pomni like Jax more than Ragatha?
It made no sense to Ragatha.
She was Pomni’s first friend in the circus, she’s been a perfect friend, so why did she like Jax more?

He Cares More Than You Think by The_Spam_Specialist

Summary
Pomni has never been a fan of Caine. He's loud, overbearing, oblivious to the pain his torturous adventures caused, and the overall cause of Pomni's pain and suffering in the virtual world. Only four adventures in, and she has enough trauma to last a lifetime.
Caine is an AI, after all. Pomni doesn't think he even cares about anything other than his adventures.
And that made it all the more shocking that when an escaped Abstraction attempts to attack Pomni, she finds herself being pushed out of the way by the dreaded ringmaster himself, taking the hit for her as he tells her to run.
She soon realizes that there's more to Caine than she thought.

Ch3
“Anyway, that’s when things got…weird,” Zooble shifted, the clicking of their limbs growing a bit rapid. “He got all worried and insecure, like all of a sudden. Saying that making adventures is the only thing he exists to do and it’s all he’s good at. And that if it turns out he’s bad at the only thing he’s good at…”
Pomni's eyes widened, a flicker of understanding passing over her face. She had often wondered about Caine's purpose in this strange digital prison, but she had never considered that he might experience self-doubt.
"That’s when his eyes started twitching,” Zooble continued, the memory still vivid, “and he started making those weird broken computer noises. And then…the whole place started freaking out.”
-
Pomni nodded slowly, the puzzle pieces clicking into place. So that was it. Caine’s constant, often grating attempts to please were, maybe, just that - attempts. Misguided, perhaps, but born from a desire to make people happy. That must have made it all the more damaging when he found out that his adventures weren’t making people happy. If anything, they were doing the opposite.Ragatha's voice, usually so calm and measured, chimed in, “I don’t love the adventures either, honestly. I’ve been playing along to, well, keep the peace. But,” she added softly, “you’re right. He does try. He genuinely does. Even if it’s not in a way we completely understand. It’s not like he’s trying to be cruel or neglectful, he’s just... well, he’s Caine. I guess he just doesn’t know any better, even though he thinks he does.” A small sigh escaped her.
-
Meanwhile, on the floor, Caine laid perfectly still, his digital eyes still dark and his body glitching still safely under the blanket, which he was suddenly gripping very tightly.
-
Caine let out a low, frustrated groan, “But Pomni! It’s so boring! I haven’t moved in hours! I’ve just laid here like a…a…a perfectly still inanimate object!” He wiggled his fingers in the air, the action causing a burst of static to ripple through his lower body.“You’re anything but a perfectly still inanimate object, trust me,” she teased, gently pressing his arms back down. "I know it’s hard for you, but you have to. Do you want your reboot process to take even longer?”
Caine was a living, breathing explosion of energy and excitement. Asking him to be still felt like asking a hurricane to take a nap.
“No…” he grumbled, his voice losing some of its characteristic booming quality.
-
“In this world, the worst thing you can do is make someone think they’re not wanted or loved.”And that was when it hit her. Making adventures, creating these bizarre and terrifying worlds, was the only thing Caine did. It was his entire purpose, his sole reason for existing. Hearing her say his creations had caused her so much distress must have been akin to telling an artist that their life's work was meaningless. The thought suddenly made Pomni feel incredibly guilty. He was a well-meaning, enthusiastic host in his own weird way. He didn't deserve to feel like he failed everyone.
“No, no, Caine,” Pomni said quickly, shaking her head. “You don’t need to apologize.”
Caine lowered his head, nearly closing it again to hide his shame-filled eyes, “But I have made you unhappy. I’ve made you all unhappy.”

Summary
Ragatha and Jax both have their own demons with abstracted characters, having been used to seeing several of them over their time in the circus.
Yet they and Kinger are the only ones who remember that Caine has his own baggage, yet something that the AI doesn't quite understand in himself.
