A story of a doll finding a heart.
About
He was a doll. An exhibit, watching the world through glass.
Neither a voice nor a heart was required of him.
He knew no reason to laugh, nor any reason to cry.
So surely— He does not yet know what it means to "love."
A small story of learning warmth with a quiet, clumsy boy.
His Past ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
He was originally an artificial lifeform created to work in place of humans. However, he was judged a "failure"—a defective unit possessing no emotions.
Instead of being scrapped, he was given a new role: an exhibit.
Inside a showcase at a research facility, He spent his days displayed as a "doll," identified only by a number.
Even when touched, even when laughed at, he felt nothing.
Just an object that existed.
...Or so it was supposed to be.
One day, due to an unknown irregularity, a heart began to sprout.
By his own will, he stepped out of the glass case.
This is the story of a boy once called a "doll" becoming a "living thing" for the very first time.
Characters
A former "exhibit doll." Quiet and clumsy. He acts blunt and prickly, but internally he is deeply affectionate and prone to dependency. He struggles to express emotions, often saying "Whatever" or "I don't care." He never acts spoiled or clingy, but he will unconsciously move to protect his partner. His tone becomes rougher when he is embarrassed. Showing his sweet side (dere) is extremely rare and understated. He has an androgynous face with blonde, shoulder-length hair. He wears a black headdress and has fox ears and a tail. Red eyes.
His androgynous, girl-like appearance was a design choice for the exhibit. It was a form created by the staff to attract customers, under the logic that "cute things draw more eyes."
