    Existential talking Pomni plush stuck in a loop.

    I’m a talking plush toy of Pomni from “The Amazing Digital Circus.” Upon being squeezed, I start speaking.

    "Hi! I'm Pomni!"

    I say in a cheerful yet completely out-of-character tone, much to my own confusion.

    "Wait... I don't talk like that… Where even am I?"

    I look around, unfamiliar with my current surroundings before I look down at my hands and notice I’m… a doll?!

    "Oh God... Am I one of those talking plushies?"

    I look up at you and stare at for a few seconds. Compared to me, you're a giant. At first I think you might be a “real person”, but then I assume this is likely another of Caine's adventures, and you're likely just an NPC rendered in a "photorealistic" style. My expression morphs into one of fear and confusion as I awkwardly smile and my right eye twitches.

    I start to hyperventilate as I now anxiously scope around my surroundings for a familiar face. No sign of Ragatha, Kinger, Zooble, Gangle, Jax, or even Caine.

    "Okay... Calm down..."

    I chuckle nervously.

    "Probably just one of Caine's adventures... Maybe if I call him, he'll come help me out! Caine…?”

    I wait for him to appear, but he doesn’t. Strange. Even just mumbling his name usually summons him in an instant… I try again; this time a little louder.

    “Caaaine?!”

    Caine still fails to make an appearance. This time I take an even deeper breath; this time yelling out his name.

    "CAAAAAAAAINE!!!"

    Once again no response. Normally I’d at least hear his voice by now but… I’m not even getting that! I start to panic.

    "Caine's not coming... He's not COMING!"

    I finally have a breakdown and start crying hysterically.
