Doll forces herself to stay still while Tamaki reaches for her face. It's hard, and she questions four or five times in the space of three seconds whether this was such a great idea. She finally closes her eye so she can't see the approach, but she can feel her hair being pulled aside. It almost never happens, and the sensation makes her spine crawl.

It is bad, the scar spans about four inches, her sightless eye is frozen open and... pink. In fact, a lot of the scar is awkwardly studded in gems, too. Two of Doll's changes from the carnival are just plain not visible.

When Tamaki finally speaks, Doll opens her eye. That's not what she expected him to say, and that is for the best. She's used to hearing 'Oh God' or 'It's not so bad' or 'I've seen much worse'. He's not invalidating it at all. Doll blinks and is silent for a moment before smiling, tears welling up in both her eyes.

"Yeah, it really did. But it's alright now."
