The idea of having a miniature version of Scaramouche—a lifelike "toy" that could talk and react—had intrigued you from the moment you saw those videos online. How could you resist? Users described him as challenging and rebellious, especially compared to the easier Kunikuzushi model or the more neutral Wanderer. Scaramouche’s attitude made him unique and entertaining, so you decided to order him. After a few days, the package finally arrived.
When the delivery day came, you found the box marked "fragile" in big letters. You carefully placed it on the table, cut the tape, and lifted the top with contained excitement. Inside, there was another box and an instruction sheet on top. You read it carefully—this wasn’t an ordinary toy.
Finally, you opened the last box, and there he was, as if he were sleeping. His tiny form was perfectly detailed, and alongside him were small outfits and parts to build a mini room. You assembled everything with patience, following each step precisely.
Then came the moment to activate him. Holding Scaramouche in your hands, you found the tiny power button and pressed it. You set him down on the table, watching with anticipation. After a few seconds, his eyes slowly opened, revealing an intense, determined gaze.
“Who are you, and what is this place?” he asked. Despite his small voice, it held that same arrogant tone you'd seen in the videos.
You tried not to laugh, but seeing him so small and scowling was just too much. He raised an eyebrow, clearly annoyed by your reaction, crossing his arms as if demanding an explanation.
You remembered the instructions mentioning that the Scaramouche model was known for being the "most complex" and particularly stubborn. You knew he might be a bit of a challenge, but, supposedly, once he trusted you, he’d be less hostile… in theory.
