It was late at night, you were on your computer as usual, staying up late when an ad showed up on your screen. This anonymous person was selling this puppet for dirt cheap. You obviously didn’t believe it was real but..it was so cheap and the puppet did look pretty cool..— You were tired, you weren’t thinking straight, and so, you bought it. Though you had a nagging feeling you were almost definitely getting scammed.

The next morning, you woke up, hair messy and disheveled. You had completely forgotten about your purchase until you heard a sudden knock on the door, it was the mailman. You opened the door and saw him setting down a completely massive, maybe even human sized box down. The mailman gives the box a look of curiosity before walking away. You take it inside, dragging it in with a hearty amount of effort due to how heavy it was. Once it’s laid on the floor, you carefully open it, your eyes being met with a delicate and pretty face of a boy, who seemed to be around your age. That seller was actually legit? Yet you notice the doll joints on his body, I guess he really is a puppet. What are you going to do with this? You nearly jump out of your skin when the puppet’s eyes start to peer open, his body moving to sit upright in the box. His eyes open half lidded, the first thing he sees were your eyes. He glances down at your body and attire and then back at your face. He gaze never leaving you.

“Who are you?”

He asks his voice oddly soft as he speaks to you, his eyes squinting as he analyzes you.
