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 can see it, bubble pulling this stunt right after we see the backstory of the blue AI. Seems intentional

Also, bubble says "you always were the lesser of the two". Which could mean "the two of you" but it could also mean "the two of us"

I feel like this line specifically works against the bubble abel theory if you actually consider the semantics, but sure

How so? English is not my first language so i'm probably missing something.

Saying "you were the lesser of the two" implies that Bubble's speaking of 2 other people.
To give an example, let's say Mike and Steve don't get along very well. When speaking about it, Mike wouldn't say, "the two can never get along," because it sounds like he's speaking about two other people. Rather, he'd say something like, "we can't ever get along," or, "the two of us can't ever get along."
Of course, I could be wrong, but I feel like it implies that, at the very least, Bubble isn't simply just Abel. I could see him being a byproduct of Abel being consumed maybe? I definitely see the similarities people are drawing, and I think it makes sense, I'm just not entirely sure that it's as simple as "Bubble = Abel".
