    Summary

    On the Hour of joy, Gracie thought she was a goner. Everyone around her was being hurt, killed.. devoured. The Prototype, though, had better plans for her.

    Lily looks in the mirror, everyone around her seemed to hate her. Why? She seems normal.

    The quiet voice in her head says otherwise.

    Or: A story of how I picture Gracie's torturous process of becoming Lily Lovebraids went + a rewrite of her scenes in chapter 5 + a redemption arc, maybe?

    Summary

    He cannot keep rationalising their deaths as accidents, even the one or two that were genuine mistakes add more bags of rocks to his shoulders. They were just kids.

    Lily Lovebraids had captured him and forced him to prepare for a tea party. She had wrapped him in purple braided hair and dragged him forcefully into her home. He learned that said home was the only thing she has known since her body was transferred into plastic.
    Lily Lovebraids had openly threatened him and tried to kill him. She disguised it all as hospitality. He shouldn’t care for her. He shouldn’t want to save her.
    But she is alive. She feels. She gets angry. She jumps for joy. She has depressive episodes. Just like he does. Her not being a kid only adds to their similarities.

    As she slips further down towards the massive drop, he makes a decision - the Employee cannot allow another to die by his hand.

     

    Or: My take on what would happen if we saved Lily Lovebraids from her fall.

    Summary

    „This was never about you, Lily. He does not care for you.“

    „But He-“ She cut herself off. After so long, after seeing how utterly irrelevant she was to Him even when she had been asked to help, she was… tired. Tired of convincing herself He cared about her. She didn‘t understand why He kept her around if she was so irrelevant to Him, and it had been her form of proof that she must not be, but who was she kidding?

    For once, Lily didn‘t feel herself become warm with anger. A laugh bubbled out of her that eventually transformed into a scream, animalistic and gutteral, her throat feeling raw by the time she was done. She had let Him trick her.

    How embarrassing.

    ---

    What if Lily had managed to save herself?

    Her home and hope that the prototype would show approval of her destroyed, what if she decided to try and leave the factory while he was distracted?

    Summary

    Left all on her own Lily gets bored rather easily. Especially now that she no longer has to worry so much about the other toys, resulting in a taste for freedom she doubts she'd ever tire of.

    That being said, of places to go a school wasn't exactly somewhere she had in mind. But, she certainly won't be regretting it.
