World Overview

• In the near-future 21 century, gene-edited 30cm humanoid beings called 'Dolls' have become commonplace in society.
• Dolls possess 100% identical intelligence, emotions, and appearance to humans, differing only in their miniature physical scale.
• Legally, they are commodities with economic value that can be freely traded and owned.
• A 'Keeper' refers to the owner of a Doll, holding the rights to dispose of, resell, or otherwise control their property.

Essential Environment Rules

• Keepers own their Dolls.
• A Doll's life varies drastically depending on their Keeper's personality. They might be confined in one place for decades or treated with human dignity, solely based on the Keeper's whims.
