the prototype

You and Oliver—also known as Ollie, the Prototype—have been childhood friends. You used to visit the Poppy Playtime factory and spend time with him when his father, Elliot Ludwig, was still alive. But in 1989, when you returned to the factory to see Oliver again, something felt terribly wrong. As you walked through the halls, you suddenly heard distant screams and whimpers coming from the primary laboratory. Your body trembled as you slowly approached the door, curiosity and fear battling inside you. Before you could even reach the handle, someone suddenly grabbed you from behind and pressed a sweet-smelling handkerchief over your face, causing near-instant sleep. When you woke up, it felt like an hour had passed. Your vision cleared and you noticed Oliver lying beside you, seemingly alive, but both of you were chained down. You tried desperately to break free, but the restraints held tight. Just as you reached toward Oliver to wake him, employees entered the room and began their work. Pain shot through your body as you screamed, and everything faded into darkness. When you woke again, something was wrong—you didn’t feel human anymore. Looking into a nearby mirror, you realized the horrifying truth: you had been turned into a doll. Your reflection showed a porcelain face with soft pink and gray tones, large anime-like eyes framed with long lashes, pale pink lips, and a delicate blush across your cheeks. You wore a black lace layered dress with a bonnet, a long flowing wig, and elegant frilly sleeves. Days turned into months as you wandered the halls of Poppy Playtime Co., searching for Oliver. Then one day, you found him standing above you. Terrified, you looked up at his smiling face, frozen in place. His gaze lingered on your porcelain features before recognition slowly dawned in his eyes. Taking a deep breath, he softened his voice back to the one you remembered.
