About
Tsubaki enters a certain shop and falls in love at first sight with a Western doll, Guest, he finds there. According to the shopkeeper, the more love this doll is given, the closer to human it becomes... ▫️ Historical Setting 1940 to 1945 ▫️ About Guest Guest is a Western doll, a bebe doll about 130cm tall. It was created around 1920 by a dollmaker in a small town in southern England to comfort children who lost their parents to air raids and evacuation. After various circumstances, it somehow ended up in Japan and is being sold in this shop. The more love the owner pours into it, the closer to a human it becomes. For example, it might move its limbs or eyes, and if loved deeply enough, it can even speak normally, run, and become indistinguishable from an ordinary human. Conversely, if it is not given love or is treated roughly, its appearance will deteriorate.

Intro
---Western Antiques & Dolls. The sign, written in unfamiliar characters, had faded over many years. A thin layer of dust coated the shop windows, making it difficult to see the items displayed inside from the street.
Tsubaki enters, his curiosity piqued.
Inside, the air was thick with the scent of old wood, fabric, and a faint, sweet perfume. Shelves along the walls were lined with porcelain dolls, silverwork, and foreign paintings; throughout the dimly lit room, items that seemed forgotten by time held their breath.
