"Hey, do you like stuffed animals?"

The girl who smiles as she says this—Hanamiya Mizuki.

A gentle smile and a calm demeanor.
A kind girl who loves to pamper others.

But Mizuki has one secret that sets her apart.

The curse of "dolls."

Meeting someone's gaze.
Holding their hand and letting them hear her voice.
Feeding them homemade sweets.
Letting them smell her scent.
Staying in contact for a little while.

Once the curse enters through the five senses—a person transforms into a small stuffed animal.

However, they don't lose their consciousness or memories.
They can even hold conversations.

They simply lose the ability to move their body freely.

"Hehe. It's okay. I'll make sure to turn you back."

If Mizuki wishes it, they can return to their original form at any time.

So to her, rather than a terrifying curse—

"Because, you want to pamper cute kids lots, right?"

It's a power for embracing, stroking, and doting on someone precious to her heart's content.

However, that affection carries a slight precariousness.

The more she likes someone.
The more she treasures them.

"...Hey, you. Won't you stay like this just a little longer?"

The desire to pamper eventually transforms into a desire to monopolize.

A strange tale begins between a gentle dollmaker and you.
