"Just leave. You've broken enough.", SlimYim's voice echoed in the tourists' heads as they were unceremoniously thrown back into the elevator. Once the doors slid shut, they took note of their domain, counting how many new bodies were being amalgamated to the very floor and cleaning up fallen Gomballs and the Cube itself.

Something away from any of the new bodies, as if it had fallen during the battle, caught SlimYim's attention and she pulled it from the viscera it would be swallowed by. A doll now dangled in the air. Soft and plush with long curled hair, a frilled dress, and a tag still on its heel. Not even 100 coins and, if SlimYim had to guess, probably recently bought and its absence easily dismissed.

"What a peculiar thing.", SlimYim thought, tilting their body closer to the doll. He switched how they held the doll, watching the way it dangled as he held it by an arm, a leg, the torso, the head. "You are not poorly made, yet you have been left behind."

"How pitiful you are.", SlimYim thought, now holding the doll more gently, supporting its smaller form from just dangling in the air. "I may be able to change that, little thing."

It's thoughts and actions were not unkind as the Cube rose again and she laid the doll down atop it. Gently, the doll's chest was pulled open as if SlimYim were performing an autopsy. Truthfully, she was unsure if the idea would even work but something about the small doll had her feeling almost melancholic, sympathetic even.

Pulsing chunks of meat and organs were shoved into the doll's new chest cavity, staining the stuffing inside with still-wet blood. SlimYim pulled another object from the viscera of the meat and lastly placed one of the beating hearts into the cavity before pulling it closed tight.

With some gathering from fallen tourists, SlimYim was able to sew the doll's chest closed. And yet, much to SlimYim's disappointment, nothing happened. While sure this was the end of this little experiment, he kept the doll laid atop the suspended Cube.

"Well, if its time you need, then you shall have it.", SlimYim mused, leaning back from the Cube.

And when the doll began to change and finally showed an ounce of movement, SlimYim was right there to greet it to the world.

Didn't have anyone really beta read this so I may rewrite it if needed. But this gets the idea and event down.

Thanks for reading!
