5.

a Doll and a cat, curled up in bed. the Doll wanted to get up, to be productive, to get its chores done, to do something, but it's far too weak today. it sits up, swaying a little as it braces against the bedside table. the Doll finishes its water bottle and lies back down. it smiles at the cat, a ball of fur softly vibrating. a quiet comfort while stuck in bed.

the Doll sleeps.
