a Doll at a party, a party with lots of people and Witches and Dolls. the Kind Witch from the quiet place is hosting, and is looking after This One, but This One is looking for trouble. it sneaks off into a back corner, to make new friends with the kind of people who love to see pretty things break, and it opens its cracks for their amusement. it smiles as they jeer and laugh, and it stays quiet when they play their games.
a little Doll, some time ago, with fewer cracks and scrapes, though the ones it has aren't fixed quite so well. yes, a little Doll, making friends at a party, some place it wasn't supposed to be. new friends who love to see pretty things break. the start of a loop that yet remains unbroken.
the party ends, and the Doll thanks the Witch. it had fun, and it hopes she did too.
