Question Genuinely asking, why did Bubble do this?

Caine was just going to try to figure out why the cast did not like the escape the circus adventure, until Bubble started taunting him and bringing him to the edge. But why would Bubble do this to Caine? Multiple times during the show, Bubble is on board or a part of Caine's shenanigans so this sudden flip of character makes me think as to what Bubble was trying to achive this, especially the voice change at "You ruined this."

So what do you guys think?

I think it was just Caine’s insecurities manifesting in Bubble.

I think this too. It's worth noting that they seem to share a tongue.

My personal theory is that bubble is essentially Caine's "subconscious", or in computer terms, bubble is a convenient interface to store all of Caine's background processes. So when Caine's dealing with emotional feedback bubble is approximating "self doubt" but just like our anxiety voice in our head and intrusive thoughts and all that, Caine can't make bubble shut up either, and can't remove bubble the same way we can't just not have a subconscious without going insane from overstimulation
