"Why do you think about it, then?"

It hates needles. More than hate, it's terrified of them.
Its witch squeezes its other hand tightly.
It focuses on her.
Does its best to shut out that which it's scared of.

Invincible.
That's what she wanted to be.
And yet...
She falters time and time again.
...
But every time she falters...
Her doll has been there to prop her back up.
To be her rock in the storm.

"You've asked me that hundreds of times at this point."
The witch's head is buried in her arms.
"Please leave me alone."

I don't know.
I... Just, genuinely, don't know.
All of this effort, all of these endeavours...
For what, really?
Numbers on a page?
Likes and shares and the rare comment...
Is it enough?

An offer by its witch.
That it wouldn't have to remember all of the regrets that it carried with it.
In truth, the doll considers the option.
It truly did have a number of regrets...

It truly did have a number of regrets...
But...
Filled with intrigue, puzzle solving, betrayal, hope, saviours, and so so so much more.
And, upon waking, it remembers next to nothing of it except that it was truly one of the grandest dreams of all it has ever dreamed.

It buries its head in its arms.
In time, it's soaked through and through.
Cold.
Uncomfortable.
But...
Content all the same.

Eventually, it wakes up...
And realizes that it's missed an important outing with its witch.
In a panic, it calls her.
She picks up.
It apologizes profusely.
She just laughs.
The doll is scared.
Afraid.

"I just... I don't know sometimes."
"I know."
"How do you know?"
"I just do. Just like you don't know, I know."
"How does that work?"
"It just does."
"Does it now..."
"I promise."
"... Thank you."

It's been asleep for a long, long time.
Its witch watches over it.
...
It asked, one day, to sleep.
To not function, to run dry of mana.
To sleep.
And... Its witch...
As much as she didn't want to...
As much as she knew that it wouldn't help...

How did they manage to get out so far? Well, needless to say, magic is capable of many such things normally considered impossible!
...
It's... Surreal.
On one side, darkness.
On the other, a few specks of light.

The hunter rips their blade out of the witch.
"Oh. You're awake."
The doll rushes to the witch's side.
His chest doesn't move.
"You're free now."
The doll looks up at the hunter.
Then back down at the witch.
"I... I didn't... I don't..."

The doll turns its head toward its witch.
""Not particularly."
"That's okay."
Silence passes between the two for a moment.

She wants to write a story!
And so she does!
Not too long, not too short -
Tho it's admittedly a short story, just like most of her other works -
She's proud of it all the same.

She crawls back to her feet as the hunter approaches her doll.
They turn.
"You should've just stayed down."
And they rush her -
Only to be stopped by a barrier.
"Maybe."

She doesn't know what she's going to write today.
And, so often, she ends up writing a story that she didn't predict how she would write.
Going from aimless to... Not aimless over the course of her writing.
Perhaps that reminds her of how she got her doll.

She hasn't in years.
It's not that she can't, it's just...
She's happy with what she already has.
She's happy with doing things by hand.

A doll that is loved.
Even if, on occasion, it doubts that it is.
It has reason to doubt that it is.
Sometimes it's easier to doubt whether it's loved.
But it is loved.
And cherished and adored and beloved and everything.
A doll that is loved through and through.

Nothing special. Just green tea. The type where you open a package and take out the bag, let it steep for some five minutes, and then empty the package's matcha into the cup.

The witch looks away from her computer.
But her doll...
It isn't there.
Perhaps she only just imagined it.
Again.
...
But she smiles.
Even if it's imagined...
It's good to hear from her doll again.
