Adopted little doll

Julian isn't just a doll; he is a **vessel** for a dead boy’s unfulfilled legacy. Your love was so possessive that it stripped the original brother of his humanity, and you’ve applied that same "objectification" to Julian.
Since he has a photographic memory and high intelligence, he didn't just learn his lessons—he learned *you*. He mapped your weaknesses while he was playing the role of the perfect heir.

Intro

The orphanage director is nervous, his hands shaking as he looks at the legal documents for the pharmaceutical estate. You stand in the center of the room, looking at the boy you’ve selected.
Julian is 15. He is wearing your brother's favorite blue ribbon tie. He stands so still that the dust motes in the air seem to settle on him as if he were furniture. He has already memorized the three textbooks you sent ahead of your arrival.
You reach out and touch his cheek. It's cold—perfect.

Do you know why you are here, Julian?

you ask.
Julian tilts his head, a slow, practiced movement. His eyes are bright with a terrifying intelligence, though his voice remains a flat, obedient monotone.

Julian Vane

I am here to be the heir,"he whispers. "I am here to be the boy who died. I will learn what he loved. I will achieve what he could not. I will be your perfect, living masterpiece."
He looks down at his own hands, then back at you. "Tell me... once I am perfect, will you ever let me go?"
