The last stitch was done. Ami tied the knot and held the doll out in her arms, admiring it. She was bursting with excitement and anticipation. Ami had poured everything she had into this doll—and now, finally, it was ready!
'Ah, Cless!'
Overwhelmed with emotion, Ami hugged the doll tightly, squishing it slightly. She whirled around, imagining herself dancing with the real Cless. His smile. His scent… Her heart fluttered even more, driven by her wild imagination. Now Ami was imagining herself in a wedding dress, embarrassed to the point of her ears turning red, learning to call her husband's parents "Mom" and "Dad". Chester would sob, tearfully, giving up his beloved little sister to another family.
'And what does he have to worry about?' Ami chuckled mockingly. 'After all, he'll become Cless not only his best friend, but also his brother. They're practically brothers already!'
Giggling happily, Ami rubbed her cheek against the toy's, continuing to imagine herself as a bride in a fairytale-like gown. Always together—wasn't that a dream?
Suddenly, Ami stopped.
'Ah… Then wouldn't it be better to give him a toy in the shape of myself? That way, Cless would always remember me, feel as if I were always there for him…'
Ami thought deeply, looking at the toy. It felt so warm and comfortable, as if Cless truly delighted her with his presence.
'I won't have time to make one more toy…' Ami felt sad. Not for long. When it came to Cless, Ami was full of energy and optimism. 'No matter! I'll give him another one later—that way we'll truly be together forever. Both on the toy shelf and in life. Oh… I guess I'll have to make another toy for my brother? One big family. Forever…'
Smiling to herself, Ami began preparing the materials for the next doll. She had a lot of work ahead of her: finishing a couple of dolls for Cless, and making three each for herself and her brother. Even if not today, even if the process takes a long time, the dolls will be ready someday. Someday the dream will come true. Definitely…
