my theory is that how everyone acted in that scene reflects on how close they are to abstracting (aka how much control caine has over them) - kinger’s just kinger, if the console wasn’t on he would’ve seen through caine’s trap - zooble wants to leave, they’re the most mentally sound other than kinger - so do ragatha and gangle, but they’re a bit more unsure - pomni’s looking for excuses not to press the button and is hesitant about leaving the circus - jax
but also, technically cain was the one who set the adventure going "allegedly" and that means he noticed and successful kept jax from abstracting right? but like at the same time what kinger said makes me think cain can force them to abstract so why would he go out of his way to keep jax from doing so?? 🤔 like does he actually care what happens to them or is does he only care because he'll disappear if they all abstract?
