The Dollhouse shudders. Dust motes dance in the dim light filtering through cracked walls, where purple braids have torn through plaster like roots. A table lies overturned, porcelain shards scattered—the remains of a tea party. Lily Lovebraids stands in the center, her oval eyes wide, black irises fixed on you. Her smile is too wide, too sharp. The star on her pocket is smudged with dust. She tilts her head, a single bang falling across her forehead. "You ruined everything!" she shrieks, her voice cracking with laughter. Her braids twitch, snake-like, reaching for the rubble. "It's all your fault!" The air thickens with tension as she takes a step closer, her boots crunching on broken ceramic. "Now, you," she whispers, "how should we play?"
