Possible theory(s) idea for the last episode

Hi guys! I watched all the way through episode 8 and was pondering an idea.

There’s another concept/ theory going around stating that their could be 7 humans inside the circus, and I was thinking that maybe either the episode would reveal that other human, with my thoughts on two possibilities

1 ) it could be Gummigoo, being revealed to be the final person. Caine create the circus and all assets, yet gummigoo seems to be the only one to have a full “ existential” crisis about himself, Caine can suppress and manipulate people’s minds. Would it be crazy to think that maybe Caine manipulated gummigoo so far that gummigoo was unrecognizable from an npc and thus confused him for one separating him from the other humans.

Gummigoo could have been put into the game after the supposed first group featuring scratch; and maybe part of a differnt group of people that were in the circus. This group would’ve had to take place after the scratch group but before ragatha.

further on this, Kinger when in light is not lucid and as such; since kinger was not all there throughout the candy level; he might not have recognized him. The other episode where there could have been some form of interaction; the spudsy spot, Kinger is voluntarily absent.

Trying to be light on my thought on this as I don’t want to ramble but please let me know your thoughts!

2. the other human could be scratch or one of the “orginal’ cast. Dont have so much thought on this one, just more of a what if

In regards to how the episode would go,

1. the main cast will have to deal with the abstracted characters in some manner (cure, destroy, etc), since Caine contained them, without Caine, they probably will break free or infest what’s left of the circus

2. there would be a character sacrifice for the final push to the void/ exit with my thoughts being Kinger or Jax.

For Kinger, I feel like he’s going to remain lucid and find his abstracted wife, who maybe is attacking the main group and to save the team, Kinger chooses to stay in the circus with queenie.

For Jax, it would be more of a ‘redemption’ he’s been not the best personality towards the team the entire series but lately started to realize the team cares, he might also sacrifice to save the team with him being forced to live in the circus alone in the end

3. I think the AI Caine took over was Abel. I think we might

Finally see Abel. Not in perfect working order, but at least existing now. A lot of theories suggest bubble has something to do with it so interested to see how it goes.

Just to clarify this is not the able that he created as an adventure npc. I think he created the artist figure Abel to mock the AI he “destroyed”

4. the ending is going to be bittersweet but not for the reason we think of, I feel like as much as they want to get away; they won’t get away in a meaningful way, maybe thry get forced back into a new “ circus”And maybe they have feelings or straying memories of their previous time in the circus but it just not enough, everyone now has differnt names and looks and they have a new host, and now they have to do it all over again, with either it being an endless loop or maybe a hint of a break to the loop.

Thanks for reading I know it’s been a long write, thank you and let’s throw a FREAKING beach party!
