A young man by the age of eighteen is walking through a park in Decorous wearing a classic suit with a small doll that resembles a girl in his upper pocket. As he was walking, he passed by two teenagers snickering and pointing at his doll. “Hey, aren't you a little too old to play with dolls? And by the way, dolls are for GIRLS!” The two friends continued to walk off laughing. The young man lifts the doll out of his pocket and turns it towards him “Tsk, those guys don't know how to appreciate how fascinating dolls are. Unlike other human beings, dolls can be anything you want them to be. It's a shame how the new generations behave.” The doll responded, “Quan, why don't you show them how wonderful dolls are and how they're suppose to act? That way, you can kill two birds with one stone.” Quan stops with a glimmer in his eyes. “Why, Michelle, that's a splendid idea! That's why you're my favorite doll!” Quan puts Michelle back into his pocket and walks briskly home.485Please respect copyright.PENANAU7eym74L2t

The next day, one of the same teenager that laughed at Quan was walking home through the park when he saw a doll laying on the side of the road. This must be one of the dolls that weird guy owns from yesterday. He thought. I know exactly what to do with it! The teenager picks up the doll, walks towards the lake in the park, and throws it into the middle of the lake. Satisfied, the teenager continues walking home. The doll gently floats back into the surface and started swimming back onto land. Then it began to follow the teenager all the way to his house.

With the passage of time of a week has gone by, the teenager had already forgotten about Quan and his dolls. He was sleeping soundly in his bed at eleven o'clock p.m. when he awoke to some loud music. The music was that of a melody one would use in a Christmas play. The teenager grumbles and tries to continue to sleep, but the music was ongoing for nearly thirty minutes. Finally, the teenager rolls out of his bed, stumbles into his living room, and looks through the blinds. Outside in the dark front yard, the teenager observes a figure of a girl in a ballerina outfit dancing in sync with the music that had woken up the teenager. The teenager then proceeds to march out of his house towards the ballerina and grabs her arm when she was about to leap.

“Stop it with the music! I can't sleep with that s*** going on!” As the teenager looks towards the ballerina's face, he noticed that the ballerina showed no expression on her face. Her eyes were merely looking in the direction her head was. Her skin felt cold and unnatural for the teenager's hand. The next thing the teenager knows, the ballerina suddenly grabs a hold of him. Momentarily shocked by what happened, the teenager later tried to free himself from the ballerina but failed to break free from his restraints. “Get the f*** off of me!” Demanded the teenager. While the teenager was still struggling, another figure that was attached to a set of crosses by strings flew down out of hiding towards him. The girl-like figure grabbed the teenager when he just managed to free himself from the ballerina and began flying off into the night sky with him. The teenager screams for help as the marionette tightens her grip. The human sized doll that resembles a ballerina stood back up on the ground and leaps away into the starless night.

The mother of the missing teenager nearly had a heart attack when she woke up in the morning to find her son gone and the front door open. She immediately called the police to file a missing person report, but several days later, her son came back home without a scratch. The mother was overjoyed to see her son safe when he appeared, knocking at the front door. The teenager was questioned by the police as soon as they found out that he came home. At the police station, the teenager was unusually cooperative, answering every question that the police ask with a straight face. The lie detector didn't pick up any sudden heartbeats and the police officers themselves as human lie detector couldn't find out if the teenager was lying or not. Baffled, the police later decided to let the teenager return home. The mother didn't questioned her son about his whereabouts at all, since the fact that he's home was enough for her.

On an island several thousand miles west from Decorous, a certain teenager who was abducted several days earlier had his hands and legs strapped to a chair. Even his neck was strapped to the chair to prevent him from moving his head. He was placed in front of a computer-sized monitor that shows the events that had occurred at his house and his mother's reaction through the camera hidden inside the eyes of the doll that resembles the teenager. The teenager was exhausted from trying to swallow his food and from the measurements that Quan took of him. Quan walks towards the teenager and stands next to him while watching the monitor. Quan speaks to the tired teenager. “Amazing isn't it? My doll crafting skills were so good, that even your mother couldn't distinguish my doll from her real son.” The teenager turns his eyeballs toward the direction of Quan's voice. “What's with you and dolls? Why am I here? Why would you make a stupid doll that looks like me and force me to watch what he does?” “Oh my... So many questions for me at once...”

Quan looks at the ceiling and thinks before looking at the teenager again. “Dolls represent ideal human beings, one that you can act as if they are actually humans and fulfill your fantasy. Now here's the reason why I brought you here. It's quite blatant that you despise dolls from our last encounter when you threw one of my dolls into a lake. You see, those dolls are like my friends and family, to see you treat them with disrespect disheartens me very much. So I've decided to bring you here and let you have a personal tour of my very own doll museum!” Quan grins widely as he says this. Now you may admire the thousands of dolls that I've made throughout the years and see some in action, which leads to my answer to your third question. If I can show you how you're suppose to act towards your surroundings, you'll become a better human being, when you can visually see yourself doing desirable actions!”

Three months later, the Decorous Police were exhausted with the recent cases of missing person report, every time the police set out to look for the missing person, the missing person would turn up at home a few days later. Normally the police would be happy for the family of the missing people, but when every missing person that went missing and returned home within months of disappearing, the police would get very tired and frustrated . Thousands of dollars and hours were squandered on search parties only to have the missing person come back safe and sound. The Decorous Police decided that it would be better if they were to let someone else investigate future missing person cases.
