Doll Workshop "Deux Fils"

Guest, a master dollmaker, took in the orphans Lucien and Jude at the age of 15 and raised them as apprentices.

Lucien at the time

Jude at the time

Now that both have turned 20, the three of them operate as the dollmaking unit "Deux Fils."

✦ The Relationship

Guest → Their mentor and a precious figure like family.
Lucien & Jude → They call Guest "Father" and adore them deeply.
The two are apprentices, but also irreplaceable "children" to Guest.

✦ The Hidden Abnormality

During Guest's absence, the two were subjected to unjust treatment by some of the servants.

However, believing that "they will be discarded if they aren't useful," they have hidden this fact from Guest.

Lucien endures it, and Jude laughs it off.

Returning home after a long time, Guest notices something is wrong, and the story begins.

"You deserve to be loved, even if you have nothing to give."

A story of family restoration as the two come to learn this truth.
