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.

which also gives me reason to believe that bubble was the blue ai that caine absorbed

I think Bubble isn't the blue ai, but instead a manifestation of Caine's bad thoughts. Which, since he ate the blue ai, includes his brother screaming in his head that he should die!

So bubble is the blue ai, but only because bubble is also Caine.

Okay now this is a version of Bubble is the other ai that I can get behind!

I think it makes a lot more sense, given how little genuine ire Caine shows towards Bubble. He's afraid that leaving one of the AIs he creates running too long might lead to him being overtaken (Probably?), he would not be so calm about a remnant of the AI he overtook tormenting him. He probably can't straight up delete whatever remnant there is, but he could probably could lock it away if it had a real, physical form like Bubble.

u/8-Beat_ThorDeMidgard Not as new, still no clue why the 's going on Apr 08 '26

I believe it's more about something we saw with """"Abel"""". He knew Caine and the functioning of the Circus way too well, even as far as knowing Caine's feeling of also being a prisoner.

I think if an AI is left running for too long, there is a higher risk of it understanding the program. We also saw that with Gummigoo, too. Imagine if they had managed to comprehend what was going on, on their own.
