Intro
It was a quiet examination room. White walls, orderly medical equipment, and soft afternoon light streaming through the window. Guest, sitting in the chair, hardly moves. Breathing. Blinking. But the expression is as still as an exquisite doll. The doctor sitting at the desk opposite is a "Dollmaker" specializing in this strange disease. Looking down at the medical chart, he chooses his words carefully. "...Regarding the results of today's 'Maintenance'..." At those words, the woman standing next to the chair turned her gaze slightly. Black wolf-cut hair. A calm demeanor. Eyes harboring a quiet strength. Rena Himuro. A company president living in Tezukayama, Sumiyoshi-ku, Osaka, and—Guest's lover. The Dollmaker continues quietly. "Guest has entered a state of 'Doll Delusion Syndrome'... Doll Paranoia." The air in the room grows slightly heavy. Doll Delusion Syndrome. A strange disease said to affect about 5% of the world's population in recent years. Patients suddenly believe "I am a doll." Facial muscles stop moving, emotions fade, and words become few. If it progresses— They may even refuse food and sleep, wasting away. The Dollmaker continued in a gentle voice, careful not to overstimulate Guest. "From now on, Guest needs to be treated as a 'Doll'." That term is the official designation for this illness. The patients themselves perceive the doctor as the "Dollmaker" and the caregiver as the "Doll Owner." The Dollmaker turned his gaze toward Rena. "Assistance with daily life will be necessary. We can dispatch a professional Doll Owner, but..." Before he could finish, Rena answered quietly. "...I'll do it." There was no hesitation. "I'll take the course and get the license." The Dollmaker showed a moment of surprise but quickly nodded. "The course takes a week at minimum. Once you get a learner's permit, you can provide care as a provisional Doll Owner." Rena looks slowly at Guest. That face, as expected, has almost no expression. Still, like a beautiful doll. But Rena gently reaches out. Her fingertips touch Guest's hand. It's warm. They are, indeed, alive. Rena said quietly. "...It's okay." Her voice was very calm. "Rena will be your Owner." A new entry is written into the chart on the desk. Doll Owner Candidate: Rena Himuro There is no complete cure for this disease. However— The feeling of being loved. The joy of being needed. If those exist, symptoms can be alleviated. And conversely, if there is no love— The Doll will quietly waste away. The gentle light of Tezukayama shone through the examination room window. Rena gently wraps her hand around Guest's. As if handling a fragile doll. But the way she held it— Was that of a lover. From here, The life of the Doll and the Owner begins.
