!WARNING - SPOILERS FOR EPISODES 7 AND 8 OF TADC! okay so i think i came up with something that explains everything. okay so, to start off - my tadc theory is the circus was made by someone for a way to have eternal life. which yes, im sure this is a popular theory, but what if there is more than that? what if the blue ai was the key to leaving the circus? PLEASE take a few minutes to read further and hear me out on this! so, in the beginning of episode 8, we see the scene that implies caine consumed the other ai - yes? well, what if C&A has planned to have the 2 ai to serve different purposes? i think the reason the members cant leave is because caine was created to be the welcoming ai, the one that welcomes you to the circus and helps you get used to the place, and "abel", the blue ai, was made to be the ai you used to be the farewell ai? the way to leave? think about it, in episode 7, when the cast gets inside caines office and sees the 2 buttons, the RED BUTTON, CAINES COLOR, is "close the console, keep all players inside the circus." and the BLUE BUTTON, ABELS COLOR, is "end the game, disconnect all players." and in episode 8, in the beginning flashback, we see scratch yelling at caine. maybe scratch was trying to figure out if caine could do anything to help them leave now that the other ai was gone? like he was asking caine if he gained the power, or if he could somehow spit it back out or something LOL (yes, i know scratch also could have been yelling at him for harming/consuming/killing the other ai, but i feel like he would be more mad than he was in the clip over that, so i think that this took place a day or more after the ai was gone) okay but on a more serious note, to back up my theory of the circus being made to give them eternal life, kinger says "the tumor in his head..he was trying to make something, what was it?" so, what if scratch was trying to make the circus his way to live forever? yes, he would die, but his conciousness would be in the circus forever. now, you might be asking, "vivie, why would there need to be a way to leave if its supposed to be forever?" well, what if, its supposed to also be a way to visit your loved ones who passed? like, thats why they would have had an ai to welcome new players and an ai to say goodbye. it all connects! and, the last thing i wanna talk about for this theory is scratch's abstraction. what if, caine seeing them so distressed, tried to alter their minds. he chose scratch first, and tried to modify his mind to make him happier and less stressed, but didnt know what he was doing and led to his abstraction. then, because of the stress of everyone else after scratch's abstraction, they all abstracted too. so, basically, abstraction is due to intense emotion. also, a little mini-theory, this is a VEERRYY big stretch, but maybe scratch's tumor messed up his mind so much, he got really anxious, so because of this, he tried to manipulate caine into getting rid of the way to leave? like, so he wouldnt be alone, or maybe so there was a garrenteed way he knew he would be alive forever (they didnt know about abstraction yet)? i personally dont think this makes a lot of sense, but i just thought of that off the top of my head, and it isnt entirely pointless i feel. also, i didnt come up w this myself (some1 on yt did, sry i forgot who), but if you take pom's (her real name is considered a bad word, idk why) line "jax?" in the trailer and reverse it, it sounds like she is saying "scratch?" and we know scratch was the first abstraction, so some people thing scratch was the first and jax will be the last. GOD PLEASE NO NOT JAX PLEEAASSEEE AUGHGHGHGH- ahem sorry i think the reverse think was purely coincidental, i dont think its supposed to mean anything, especially bc its hard to hear "scratch?" unless you rly think abt it or read the word while listening although i do agree with scratch being the first and jax being the last, that would make a lot of sense. i just hope it isnt true.. </3 anyway, thats pretty much it! if i think of more supporting details, ill add it here. thanks for reading! and please, if you have anything to add or any counter-arguments, feel free to comment! id LOVE to hear your opinion! if i add anything you said, you'll be given credit! \\tags, ignore, just trying to push this out to more ppl//
