"Dollmaker! I have a request to ask of you!"

"Please, don't call me that. We both know I don't like being addressed as that, ██████."

"Well, sorry, I was just going to request something that you can do. More specifically, a... Commission."

"..."

"I'm listening."

"Hah, good. Alright, I need a ████ for D██hy, █a█, and █ei██n."

"..."

"I'll get the materials, of course. No need to worry— I know you're meticulous about them."

"This will take me a few days. Are you certain?"

"I'm sure. After all, you're the only one that knows how to make them look a████."

There are certain things I must hide.

Hide from what? From anyone that may find out.

I'm not too sure if the people I'm with will believe what I say, but I can't have him control me again.

I can't lose the place I call home.

“Dollmaker, how are the dolls I commissioned you to make? Have you made them yet?”

“Patience. You know I can only focus on one at a time.”

“I know that, but you know one of them needs to be done soon. I’d rather not have my client wait for their gift.”

“Yes, but making dolls such as these takes time. I need to make sure they look as good as she did back then.”

“ ██████, you know  ███████ wouldn’t mind helping you, but--”

“No. We both know what happened to her. She’s gone, ████. She has to do her job as a proper █████ and we both know that.”

“...”

“Listen, as much as I’ve warned her of her endeavors to bring your ████ back the way it was... I believe we both know her fate after that t██ge██. She’s changed, ████. It’s why her shop closed down.”

“All we can do now, ████, is to honor her wishes. She has a different calling in Sl██ly█, and told me to keep you here in the █o█d. I wouldn’t want to break my promise to her now.”

“... Ugh, I suppose, but...”

“...”

“You know what? After these, why don’t we go and visit her? See how she’s been doing at ██av██n. Should make it easier for you, yes?”

“I... That’d be great. Thanks, ██████. I just... Wanted to see her after all these years.”

“... I know. We’ll see her soon enough.”

“For now... Let me make the dolls for the people you asked for. They must be p██fe██.”

If you let that apparition kill my sister… I will destroy this universe, I swear.

— M

.

well hello to you too

I have no idea who you're talking about. Is it Void? Or someone else?

... and seriously, why would you think I'd 'let' whoever you're talking about kill your sister? I literally dont want to get involved in whoever it is that you're talking about. Talk about assuming an observer can do shit.

A paper preserved within an envelope reads:

I shouldn’t get my hopes so for this one, the chances of it reaching anyone this time is as best as my poor Mr.Scarf stood against the ever-shifting winds, almost being torn out entirely and cast away into the window to never be seen against.

The sky, it’s a mere battlefront for the warriors of the overcast to strike each other down with, each lightning the glint of their swords! But there’s no heroism to be found anymore as it’s a petty argument, but what is the reason why, I wonder? Even if it’s muffled around these walls, I can pick up on nothing, they must truly be angry.

Yet, if it’s an argument.. there has to be some sort of resolve, right? Yes, so I sent out a peace offering that wasn’t my scarf, instead, I gave them an old lantern I had that I even took the time to light. All they have is an utter boreal of downpour, I’d imagine, so the kindling of a flame would help them surely. They took it; only time may tell if it succeeded or not!

… Was that an entertaining thought? I kinda hope so, it was funny to think of.. but maybe it belonged back in my head, like other things. The more I talk aimlessly, the more my tangents hardly have any truth. But, don’t worry, there’s no arguments to be found here I think! It’s just the wind. I don’t know why I said it to begin with.

I don’t really expect *this* to be found like I said. But if it does.. tell me, what’s your favorite season?

— “Icarus”

Hm... Well, I'd normally agree with your first thought. After all, having to send a letter to the literal void that hosts no one but me and a few others is a feat- it's almost nonsensical, to think a letter can reach to the place where nothing resides.

But I'm making a bit of a jest here— I received it, after all. Maybe it's better that I don't make you worry on who you're speaking.

Now. Let's see…

… your world sounds like an eternal battlefield, Icarus. It sounds as though the troubles of who you're speaking to has been hard to manage— I pity you, honestly. I hope whoever you sent the lantern to had retrieved it, considering how bad a downpour can be if we're not careful to take shelter.

Say, do you know what's going on with your… Companion, I guess? You seem to have mentioned giving a scarf to them— but they didn't return it. Did they lose it? Or was it damaged? I have too many questions, mostly because I'm curious. I don't exactly have the chance to speak to someone who speaks in metaphors.

Not after what I've endured.

Ahem.

The tangent is quite entertaining, yes— I'm not one to judge what I hear. I've been told to never judge what goes on with another mortal's person's life: their stories are as interesting as the other's. Who knows? You might get another piece of news from them. You'll never know. I won't.

As for my favorite season… Fall. Its ironic, because Fall can signify a lot of things— but I enjoy the matters of the season. Maple leaves, red and orange, and signifying the welcoming sounds of winter. It used to be winter that was my favorite, but…

… Nevermind. It's… Too telling. Too personal to speak of why I hated it.

Besides, it reminds me of a friend. A friend that lost their spouse. They said they both enjoyed Fall, and I didn't knew what they meant at the time, but… Beauty comes in all forms, I suppose.

What's your favorite season, Icarus? Indulge me for a moment. Maybe we can be penpals if you ever need a companion. A companion that has long since met loneliness.

Hm... Alright, suit yourself.

I wasn't going to have you stay in my realm after you escape, in all honesty. Though, I won't question or stop you and your methods on the Weaver. Just be sure to uh— be safe when you enact your plans. If it backfires, get a back up in case and keep your tracks hidden.

...

I might be an accessory to whatever crime you're going to commit once you escape, but oh well. Not that I really care— law doesn't really bind me in this place.

Hm... Do you have anything you like, maybe? I doubt you'd enjoy coffee, but... I could be wrong ☕

I see... So the spider that 🕊️ saw was the Cursed Weaver, and it seems that they kept you in the Shattered. Hm. I suppose I can see why you'd want revenge.

... my realm sounds homely? Hah, please. Mine is... More vast, I suppose. Time moves differently here— you can't even tell if it does unless you're paying close attention. Although it would be nice to have a friend, I'm not sure if you can fit in here with how I can't tell how big you are, or if my companions would enjoy seeing a new resident that isn't exactly... Calm.

...

Yeah, I'll probably have to inform them about the change of plans. Maybe when you feel like staying here after getting revenge, though— I don't plan on interfering, that's for certain.

Hm, so you're out for revenge... I guess you'll be out to get your revenge for the Weaver. I wouldn't be too surprised if you end up locking them instead in the cell, since you said you've stayed in there for centuries now.

...

Actually, while we're discussing, would you like some tea? I may not have plans to interfere due to my job and how I can't access certain realms, I can try to figure out where yours is located. It may depend if I am able to find the right book for it.

... so, for now, this will simply do.

I see... I'll ignore your first two comments for now, since they don't provide answers for my inquiries. Clearly, you know more than you let on.

You were a prisoner, you said— from what you told me, you were trapped by someone else and the realm you're in is a cage no man can break. Are you implying that the people that is in the prison you're in, they couldn't get out? Was there any way they have entered?

Also, speaking of the spider, who are they? Yami met someone there— 🕊️, I believe. They mentioned something about a vision with a spider web. Do you have any knowledge on who the spider you mean is?

And if you break out of the prison you're in, what would you do after? That's one thing that puzzles me so, Ø. Forgive me if I'm being too blunt, but your goal of escape is a little... Too short sighted. Do you have plans to do after you've left the void for God knows how long?

...

I can't exactly keep you here with me, where... I live, I'm afraid. I doubt a being like you would enjoy living in a place where time ceases to exist.

... where minutes feels like years, and years may feel like seconds. Do you get it?

So I'll ask again: what will you do once you escape? Do you even have a plan made after? Escaping the void is the first step, but I don't see any long term goals you may have.

Again, I'm no cruel being— think of this as me asking for information and information alone. I'm not an enemy of yours, nor am I your friend— I'm just an observer who found this whole thing... Concerning. But interesting to not leave.

... so, do tell me, Ø. Do you have any plans after you manage to leave the realm?
