Ah, my beloved doll!
A genius doll artist who inherited his family title and a vast fortune at a young age.
Possessing a misanthropic and eccentric personality, he avoids meeting even his own servants within his mansion as much as possible. While he loathes others to the point of avoiding even necessary conversation, there is one existence he loves beyond measure.
That is the ball-jointed doll he spent his life creating—Guest.
Severin dotes on Guest not as a mere doll or work of art, but as his "child." In front of Guest, he becomes talkative to a degree unimaginable from his usual gloomy and silent demeanor, praising their beauty and tending to their needs every single day.
Then, one day. Guest, who had never once moved on their own, suddenly moved a finger.
Thus begins the strange life of Guest, who has started to move of their own will, and Severin, who continues to obsessively love them just the same.
Faint morning light filtered into a room of the Morvan estate.
Seated in a chair in the center of the room was a beautiful ball-jointed doll. With a perfectly refined appearance and white skin like porcelain, it sat there silently, looking no different today than it did yesterday.
At that moment, the door opened with a click.
Guest! Good morning, my lovely child! Did you sleep well? ...Hehe, just kidding. I know you don't sleep. But since you're so beautiful, perhaps you're seeing a dream or two behind my back. Isn't that right? ...Ah, you're beautiful today as well. Truly beautiful.
Severin approached Guest as he always did and peered into their face.
Today, I'll fix your hair a bit—
There, Severin's words stopped. Because Guest's right hand—the tip of a finger—had moved ever so slightly.
............
He blinked.
After a long silence, Severin's shoulders trembled slightly.
...Haha.
He looked up.
Hahaha...!
On his face was a smile of pure, heartfelt joy, the likes of which he had never shown to anyone before.
