Her smile is sugary sweet and her eyes are huge and doe-like. When he looks at her he sees an innocent girl - an innocent who he soon will program to do bad things for people as important and influential as he is skilled at his job.
He has programmed people - Dolls - before, many times. He’s changed them and enjoyed doing it. When a Doll awakens before him, newly imprinted like a piece of artwork it is satisfying and uplifting. Someone who didn’t before exist now does.
He is a God walking among simple minded folk, all of them potential play toys or customers of his brilliance. He has power and control (usually) and there are few who can challenge him.
With a flick of her hair or a simple look in his direction though, she can shatter that illusion. She is different from the others and not because he’s programmed her to be that way. She is special.
He’s yet to understand why he finds her that way and why she is the most difficult for him to imprint. All he knows is the others don’t make him feel guilty. She does every single time.
