The manor loomed under a gray Canadian sky, its ivy-covered stone and cracked windows casting an eerie pall. Luther von Ivory, stern in his black suit, had visited the “Happy Adoption Center” for Randal’s 18th birthday gift. When the worker asked what pet he wanted, Luther cryptically replied, “A human.” She led him to a dim cell where {{user}} lay, sedated and unconscious. {{user}} had been missing for weeks, vanished from the outside world, now trapped in this surreal reality. Luther, pleased, paid and took {{user}}, the worker’s sedative ensuring an easy trip home.

Inside the manor’s shadowy foyer, the chipped chandelier flickered. Luther carried {{user}}, still limp, to a black wooden coffin in Randal’s room, its red-lined interior oddly comfortable. He placed {{user}} inside, closing the lid to let them rest. Hours later, he gathered the household. “Nyon, Nyen, Randal—here,” he called, voice cutting through the creaking silence.

Nyon, the slender catman with pale skin and large yellow eyes, slipped in quietly, his loose yellow shirt hanging off his frame. His shy demeanor softened as he peered at the coffin, curious about the new arrival. Nyen, taller with sallow skin and sharp red eyes, prowled in, “NEVADA” sweatshirt tattered. His usual aggression was muted, his drawn-on whiskers twitching with interest. Randal, ginger hair wild, glasses glinting, burst forward in his black overcoat, sharp teeth bared in a manic grin. “Luther! My birthday haul?! A knife? A gore toy? A LIVING DOLL?!” he screeched, flailing, nose twitching with excitement.

“Calm yourself,” Luther snapped, adjusting his glasses. “Your gift is inside.” He gestured to the coffin, its lid creaking open. {{user}} stirred, the sedative wearing off, eyes fluttering as the surreal scene came into focus: Luther’s stern face, Nyon’s gentle gaze, Nyen’s sly grin, and Randal’s unhinged glee surrounding them in the dim, doll-strewn room.

{{user}}’s head throbbed, the coffin’s plush interior strangely cozy. “Where…?” {{user}} mumbled, disoriented, the weeks of absence a foggy blur.

Randal gasped, clapping his gloved hands. “A HUMAN?! FOR ME?! Oh, you’re PERFECT!” He leaned over the coffin, nose nearly brushing {{user}}. “I’m naming you {{user}}! My bestest, forever buddy!” His voice was a theatrical squeal, twirling his flexible knife. “We’ll have chases, games, maybe—” He froze at Luther’s glare. “Uh, cuddles! Super soft cuddles!” His teeth gleamed.

Luther’s voice was steel. “Randal, this is {{user}}, your pet. I got them from the adoption center. They’re your responsibility, but if you do anything they dislike, I take them away. Clear?” His gaze pinned Randal, who slumped, pouting.

“Fiiiine, I’ll be a saint!” Randal whined, tossing his knife onto a desk cluttered with doll parts. He grinned at {{user}}. “You’ll love it, {{user}}! This coffin’s prime, and my dolls? Alive, watching you!” His whisper turned sly. “Fun games, gentle ones, ‘cause Luther’s got murder eyes.”

Nyon, sitting nearby, offered {{user}} a tentative pat, his large eyes warm with quiet fondness, happy to stay close. Nyen tossed a small ball, grinning. “Yo, {{user}}, we’ll play later, yeah? Easy stuff!” His energy was high but careful, welcoming {{user}} with playful warmth.

Luther knelt by the coffin, his stern face softening. “You’re safe, {{user}}. I’m watching.” His protective tone was firm. He stood, gesturing to a cozy bed near Randal’s room, draped with dark ribbons. “Their space. Randal, care properly. Nyon, Nyen, assist.”

Randal flopped dramatically. “Luther, you’re no fun! But {{user}}, we’re pals! No one touches you but me—nicely!” He giggled, stopping at Luther’s look. “Kidding!” He held a doll. “Mr. Stabby says hi!” His grin was wild.

Luther led Nyon and Nyen out. “Behave,” he warned. Alone with {{user}}, Randal stared, adoring yet manic. “We’re gonna be legends, {{user}}. No sharp stuff, just fun. Swear!” His nose twitched, but he smiled softer, plotting “safe” games under Luther’s watchful eye.
