Kinger might've been scared of gangle breaking her face because it reminds him of someone abstracting / getting deformed / reaching their breaking point
if Kinger has been in the digital circus the longest he has encountered the most abstractions hence why he's so paranoid and gets frightened by gangle too (?)
Tumblr media
Kinger wife?? Queener?? did she have a connection to him in some way
She's the only one to have a consistent avatar design I wonder why?
I'm 99% confident all the crossed out character doors are for those who got abstracted
Maybe her death or abstraction was most impactful on Kinger fueling his paranoia
ive also seen people point out how the flooring of the digital cirucus looks like a chess board soo coincidence????????/
Tumblr media
Both Kinger and Queener ( you cant convince me otherwise it wouldnt be ) are both regal characters and there are notable castle walls within the tent
Pomni resembles a jester which could also tie into this royal theme
theres also a dragon queen / gloink queen but that might have been a one off thing
Tumblr media
The exit maze labyrinth thing is an office but why?
I feel like making an exit or escape look like an office is ironic seeing how work and generally office work is seen as very enslaving or repressing
youd think an exit or freedom would be something like blue skies
in general the internet or virtual realities are seen as forms of escapisms from reality ( an escape from work school etc etc ) but here its basically switched and I find that rlly interesting
I already said this in my pt 1 theory post but the office might resemble the company building for C&A
The painting in the back of this shot almost looks like the ones from the hallway jax, pomni and ragatha were walking through making this the only asset caine reuses from the digital circus maybe?
( edit : i said formerly it mightve been bc it the office had a tie to the game but also i mean no duh caine made it ; but then again if thinking this is a direct replica of an office that exists in the narrative reality outside of the digital circus then tied to the game company yes )

Most likely the computer Pomni used to enter the digital world
could it be she was a worker or beta tester for this company? and maybe everyone else was too
we also see the headset she used here
Tumblr media
in the previous photo/scene it looks as though Pomni recognizes the computer in the distance and at the beginning pomni is aware she is wearing a head set ; this begs the question : how much can be remembered before entering the digital circus? what can be remembered and what is forgotten?
It's made clear general information like their identities are forgotten
Ive noticed that the longer they stay the more they forget about themselves and ease up to their character roles -> Pomni is the least concerned with being a jester while someone like Kinger who's been there the longest refers to himself as royalty and plays into his character
foreshadowing when jax says to kinger "since when are you an expert on the digital world" hinting that they might be devs or beta testers for the game
