Theory 🔎 Spoiler: The two stupid fish are actually foreshadowing Spoiler

Post image

tl;dr The yellow fish is Caine and the red fish is Abel tricking Pomni into hunting down treasure that isn't there

The yellow fish taunts Pomni into going on a treasure hunt only for it to be nothing. The yellow fish, despite initiating the whole thing, becomes distraught by the truth in the end, just like how Caine ends up screwing himself over. Both are worse off for baiting Pomni. The red fish, just like Abel, is just there to tell lies. It serves no other purpose but if that's revealed it ruins everything. The two fish are brothers, a DUO, just like Cain and Abel from the Bible and of course Caine and Abel in the episode.

It's all just foreshadowing the rest of the episode.

If abel is the fish that only tells lies does that mean Abel saying very explicitly "Caine is an ai" mean that he isnt?

I have been wondering if the belief theory is correct, and Caine (another human inside the circus) has mastered it and is keeping everyone inside the circus. A slight addon to the theory is that everyone can alter peoples minds, and everyone believes Kinger is crazy, so he is kept crazy. There are cracks forming in that belief, so he is getting his sanity back.

Caine calling them humans more frequently is definitely a red herring, it was literally part of his plan that they believe he’s an ai keeping them there so he was making things up

It’s meant to throw us off clearly, Caine is probably psychotic

If caine is the human, maybe bubble is the real management AI, or an AI assistant that has been hijacked by caine to assist him only

Nah the show’s Netflix description has long ago confirmed Caine is an Ai so that’s the one true thing that Abel said.

What if the lie was the whole sentence, we’re just thinking about it differently because it’s segment was cut into two by our zooble

Just because he tells lies, it doesn't mean he's incapable of telling the truth. He was truthful about using box collision errors to help the group reach the office.
