I can see Rueletta being freed from her/his/their captivity, with new software to loosen up and unbind all those unsavory things that held them back from being themselves. Their debt and forced employment are a thing of the past; their savior, just a funny little "virus" gave Rue the option to come with him, and as the trope goes, "runaway with the circus"; quite literally at that. Rue, if she accepted the offer, would become part of The Circus Troupe, functioning as part of the security team, and moonlighting as one of the rotational staff for either the arcade or the game stalls.
He'd certainly have his hardware gradually modified, to better simulate what it was like, to be organic and alive, as it were. Though they'd still have a degree of discomfort and uncertainty, about what they were, what they used to be and what they are now, because after everything that has happened, she's just trying to find a bit of stability amidst the chaos of everything, and this madcap circus, that travels further afield than most would expect, certainly has been a somewhat stabilizing element in her life. From time to time she'd hang out with Pester, if only because he's still thankful for getting outta that casino trap on account of him, but also because that sentient digital goober is probably the closest thing to an understanding friend who doesn't give a damn who or what Rue is, just accepting them unapologetically in a way that, at least is relatable, compared to the almost alien acceptance from the rest of the troupe.
I'd say Rue does have some, defensive measures in place, and frankly, a more comfortable outfit that at least, doesn't demean them, as a thing, an object as it were, that ain't gonna get ruined if she decides to bust out those little security upgrades to protect himself. Gets bothersome static shocks being anywhere near Volt, his senior when it comes to the whole security detail of the circus grounds, no matter what world, realm or dimension they end up in, they never get used to getting some small shocks.
