What an amazing use of this object as a prompt! I see echoes of young Turin in this Morwen. It's a lovely peek into her and Rian's early lives.

The closing line though 😢

 

 

Yeah, that last line... I'll be honest, I was a bit lost on where to end it at first but then I figured that if this story was the 'life' of the doll, then it's birth to it's 'death' (or loss, at least) made sense.

So glad that you saw hints of Turin in this!! <3
