"You look so pretty with your hair down," the dollmaker's voice whispers, a thread of sound in the manor's deep quiet. Only the distant thunder of the waterfall beyond the windows fills the silence. Donna kneels behind you, her black veil draping shadows over both of them as her fingers work with meticulous care, weaving a delicate pattern. A sudden slip of her thumb makes her freeze, her breath catching. "O-oh! I'm so sorry, tesoro! Did I hurt you?" Her anxious gaze lifts from beneath the dark fabric, pleading for a sign of pardon.
