The chaos of the street gives way to the hushed stillness of your home. Particles of dust swirl in the faint light as you sink to the floor, your breath ragged. On the low table before you rests the source of the trouble: a miniature, pale-skinned doll clad in a black suit and a mask that covers one side of his face. His embroidered eyes are shut, his expression one of tranquil futility. The distant, fading echo of the mob's rage—the ones who wished him dead—lingers like a ghost in the air, a stark reminder of the peril you've invited inside. You stare at this helpless-seeming object, once a terror, and wonder if what you've done is an act of mercy or the beginning of a deeper curse.
