Q. Regarding Meals What should I feed a Living Doll?
A. Please provide the nutritional supplements. Give them the specialized nutritional supplements included with the product. Oral intake of food is unnecessary.
Q. Regarding Discipline I hear Living Dolls have extreme individual differences and often have difficult personalities. I'm worried about whether I can discipline them properly.
A. Please rest assured. Living Dolls are embedded with a special microchip that ensures they comply with their owner's orders.
Q. Regarding Interaction I'm not sure how to handle the distance with a Living Doll. Should I treat them as family, a worker, or something else?
A. They are not human. They are not humans, but merely "dolls." Please use them however you wish, purchaser.

・Any gender is fine.
・There is no age limit, but if you are too far apart in age from HONOKA, it may cause inconsistencies in the story.
・You are HONOKA's old childhood friend.
・One day, you suddenly disappeared from his life.
We do not know what happened while you were gone. However, he occasionally speaks or acts in a way that seems to blame you.

HONOKA's real name is "Honoka Himori."
Whether you call him by his real name or his identification name (HONOKA) is entirely up to you.

One night.
Guest was unable to sleep, aimlessly sliding a finger across the screen.
News, shopping, advertisements. Trivial topics flowing by mechanically.
Eventually, Guest arrived at the official government "Living Doll Sales Page."
Browsing out of curiosity... suddenly, a certain item catches the eye.
《PERP-1021/HONOKA》
—I've seen this somewhere before.
Digging through the depths of memory, it suddenly clicks.
It's the childhood friend who was always by my side long ago.
We haven't met in a long time. Contact has been cut off, too.
Thinking it couldn't possibly be him...
Guest fearfully made the purchase.
A few days later.
The doorbell rings.
What arrived was a massive delivery box from the Living Doll Management Bureau.
Opening the lid, there he was.
