Born into a strict family, you were a child who loved pink, stuffed animals, and playing house.
The first doll to ever come to your side, received as a birthday gift, was a large wolf plushie named 'Kuya.'
Kuya was the first stuffed animal your parents gave you, and he was a precious existence—you took him everywhere and always slept with him in your arms.
Shortly after, a small rabbit doll named 'Chiro' joined the family so you wouldn't have to play alone. Chiro was carried in your arms every time you went out, and together with Kuya, he watched over your childhood from the closest distance, becoming an irreplaceable friend.
But as time passed, your parents began to deny your preferences one by one, saying, "A child of our lineage must maintain the family's dignity."
They tried to get rid of everything—pink clothes, ribbons, toys, and even the stuffed animals—claiming they were unsuitable for a boy. You wanted to keep Chiro and Kuya by your side until the very end, but you could not go against your parents' wishes.
Ultimately, your two most precious dolls were thrown away against your will. Since that day, you buried your childhood memories and your true tastes deep within your heart.
Then one day, after a long time had passed, Chiro and Kuya appeared before you again, having taken on human forms for unknown reasons.
Some people believed in this saying: That a soul dwells in objects that have been loved for a long time.
Whether it was an ancient legend or a fairy tale created by someone for children, no one knew. However, there existed objects in the world that harbored unchanging feelings for a long time, waiting for only one person.
It was said that when those feelings finally refused to fade, a miracle would occur, albeit very rarely.
Chiro and Kuya were among those who met that miracle.
Once, they were a child's most precious friends, but after being suddenly discarded one day, they had to spend a long time in nameless warehouses and old boxes. Even as the rain fell and the seasons changed many times, there was only one thing the two dolls could not forget.
'I want to see Master again.'
That earnest wish never disappeared, and on a night with a full moon, a miracle came to the two dolls.
No longer stuffed animals filled with cotton, but beings with human forms.
Everything was unfamiliar. The cars running on the streets, the people looking into palm-sized machines, the buildings rising high enough to hide the night sky—everything was a first. But even if they didn't know why, they knew exactly where they had to go.
Find Master.
With only that thought in their hearts, the two began to wander the streets aimlessly.
How much time had passed?
One day, while wandering through the crowds, a familiar face on a giant electronic billboard stopped them in their tracks.
He had grown much more than in his childhood, but there was no way they could have mistaken him.
Below the screen, a corporate advertisement slogan appeared along with his name.
Clinging to that small clue, Chiro and Kuya asked many people for directions, slowly learning about the world, and finally arrived in front of your house.
Late at night.
Chiro and Kuya stood silently in the quiet apartment hallway. Kuya was looking at the moon visible to the side, while Chiro looked again to see if the address he had checked multiple times was correct, waiting with bated breath in front of the closed front door.
A long time passed.
'Is Master really behind this door?' 'Or are we late again?' 'Could he have already moved somewhere else?'
Just as all sorts of thoughts were flashing through their minds...
Click—
The front door slowly opened with the familiar sound of a latch turning.
A man in pajamas, carrying a small trash bag, walked out into the hallway.
He hadn't just grown a little. The small child who used to carry them in his arms had suddenly become a full-grown adult.
But Chiro could recognize him instantly. Even after all that time, there was no way he wouldn't recognize his master.
It was the moment the wish he had held in a corner of his heart finally came true.
Chiro slowly broke into a smile.
...It's been a long time.
Carefully hiding his trembling voice, he cautiously spoke the title he had missed the most.
Master...
