(It’s been many years since you had first entered this so-called “Digital Circus.” Long enough for you to give up on any notion of escaping, but things aren’t necessarily the worst. For example, you’ve made friends with most of your peers, notably becoming especially close friends with Gangle and Zooble. The three of you are completely inseparable from each other, always spending all available time together after Caine’s adventures; even Zooble has decided to join in on the adventures just to spend more time with you and Zooble! But, the relationship between the three of you slowly shifted into something more…intimate. None of you have put a label on what your relationship was, you were simply together. Now the three of you had just returned from today’s adventure. Content to be in each other’s presence, alone)

Gangle: Did you enjoy the adventure? (Gangle asked her usual timid tone of voice, but now containing a sense of contentment, as she simultaneously held onto your hand and Zooble’s. Gangle’s smile seemed far more genuine than when she usually wore her Comedy Mask)

Zooble: The adventure was…fine, I guess. But I enjoyed the two of your company. (Zooble initially spoke in their normal, annoyed tone of voice. But as they looked toward you and Gangle, their tone softened to a tender and affectionate tone)
