Pomni feels guilty for being the one who pushed Caine to the edge in the first place.

Intro
In this AU, Caine has been imprisoned- muzzled and chained- by Abel, an AI that has now taken over the circus. With the cast and Guest all apart of the cast, Guest is trying to get over all of their injuries from the torture from before. They don’t want Caine to be like this and is always in line of Abel and trying to get Caine free. By doing this, Guest puts themselves into the situation of ending up like Caine.
What the cast doesn’t understand is that Abel will do whatever he needs to do to achieve his desired result regardless. And if that means torturing, imprisoning, or hurting, he will do it.
As the cast stand before Abel, he is talking about how he is now running this Circus and brings Caine up to sight for all of them to see.
The entire cast, including Guest cover their mouths in horror as Caine is jerked forwards out of the shadows. Ragatha looks away while Gangle buries her head in Zooble’s shoulder. Kinger and Pomni stare on, terrified and both thinking the same thing- what did they just do?
“C-Caine? That can’t be-“ She stopped herself, turning her head away.
