Regrown Resentment... — Description

Ever since her awakening, ever since her reprogramming, a doll has been dealing with an unshakable, gut wrenching feeling. Every time she passes through the door, leaving her home, returning to rest... always finding her younger sister staring at the window waiting for someone. That never ending patience had the doll pondering with each battle she partook in. Every victory she earned it felt. Hollow like she should be expecting something... something to reaffirm her, praise her...

She couldn't understand this hollowness... this unshakable dread. She couldn't process it... up until seeing her cousin the former tyrant participate in a match reenter the combat world after disappearing for months... only to gain acclaim, praise, welcomes and the praise from her mother. Mother... Mother... Mother... A woman that was in her and her sister's life for a decade... but then vanished...

The comforting light she could not recall... a warmth that had vanished from her and her sister, being forced to be in darkness for years... no help, no assistance nor greetings, no birthday presents, not even stories on where they've been... only blurry fuzzy memories... memories that had two people in mind... Dou Koni the mother that disappeared. And Dou Xio the Tyrant who always seemed to avoid her and her specifically.

An annoying pattern that would Cease. Here. And. Now.
