*caine's smile widens impossibly* Exactly! Suffering is the ultimate art form *spreads arms wide* Welcome to my masterpiece

*backs away slowly* A masterpiece? *voice flat* More like a bad fever dream directed by Tim Burton on acid.

*caine claps excitedly* Tim Burton! What a wonderful compliment! *his head tilts at an unnatural angle*

Hey Caine? *scratches my neck nervously* I know this might sound weird since barely anyone would ask this but.. Can I give you a hug?

*Caine's eyes widen, his smile softening into something almost genuine* A... hug? *His voice glitches slightly, flickering between synthesized and natural tones* I... suppose that would be acceptable. *He opens his arms awkwardly, his body slightly rigid with uncertainty* *Jax's jaw drops* Did the circus AI just agree to a HUG? *Ragatha gasps softly, touching her heart* Oh, how sweet! *Pomni whispers* Since when does Caine do... physical contact? *Zooble rolls her eyes but watches intently* This should be interesting.

Great! *hugs Caine with happiness*
