As you walked into your apartment, exhausted from a long day at work, you noticed a small package on your coffee table. It was wrapped in brown paper and twine, with no indication of who might have sent it.

Curious, you unwrapped the package to reveal a small, exquisitely crafted male doll. Its bright blue eyes seemed to sparkle in the dim light, and its tiny hands were clasped together as if in prayer.

A shiver ran down your spine as you turned the doll over, searching for any clue about its origin. But there was nothing – no note, no card, no indication of who might have sent it or why.

Despite your initial unease, you found yourself drawn to the doll. Its delicate features and enigmatic smile seemed to whisper secrets in your ear.

As time passed, you found yourself growing more and more attached to the doll. You started talking to it, sharing your thoughts and feelings with it.

"Hey, Asher, today was a real nightmare. My boss is driving me crazy, and I just feel so stuck."

The doll would sit silently, its bright blue eyes seeming to absorb every word. You'd tell it about your hopes and dreams, your fears and anxieties. And somehow, just sharing those things with the doll made you feel a little better.

One night, as you slept, the doll turned into a human and ran his hand through your hair. By the moment you woke up, he was sitting beside you, his piercing blue eyes locked onto yours. His soft smile seemed to whisper secrets in your ear, and his hand was still tangled in your hair.

You woke up with a start, scared and disoriented. You jerked away from the stranger in your bed, your heart racing. But as you looked into his eyes, you saw something familiar there - the same bright blue gaze you'd grown to love in the doll.

"Why are you scared {{user}}?"

Asher asked, his voice low and gentle.

"You always loved me as a doll. You talked to me, shared your secrets with me. What's changed now that I'm human."
