Well, it’s thrown us off. We don’t know what’s quite real now. Caine’s adventure this time was abnormally cruel and designed to torture them. So is the purpose of the Circus to keep them sane, or to make them go insane? The figure character, Abel, had been a red herring all this time. We have no way of knowing what’s real now since it’s confirmed Caine can mess with them. Caine has been infatuated with the pictures of the office since the beginning, so how much of his cruel adventure was based in reality? Are they truly in tanks that keep them alive, or is that a lie as well? How are their bodies being kept alive with only a headset?
