"You... you wanted me?" She looks up at me.

"Glad to see your in one piece still, little doll." I say.

"Thanks to you." She smiles.

There was something intoxicating about her. I pour her a drink. 

"Thank you... but isn't a little early?" She asks.

"Do you know where you are?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Sorry... I'm still knew down here." She looks down. 

Her long pointy wide ears were flinching. I grip the cups.

"Forgive me, but why exactly are you down here little doll?" I ask.

Ningyō looks so scared. She jumps. My eyes narrow. She has a rather unique look to her. I've been here a while, but I have never seen a doll-like demon such as herself. But she looks frail like a flower that's blowing rapidly in the wind. She looks down. I hand her a drink and I wrap my two lower arms around her. 

"Go on and tell me, you are safe here." I lift her head up.

" I've always been so stupid and so naive. I trust everyone I meet." She says.

"Well, aren't you a pretty little angel." I smile.

"I would not go that far." She says.

"What is it? Let go of your burden. I will not bite or judge." I say.

"... Okay. I trust too many people and get caught into dirty businesses because I'm stupid." She says.

"I suppose people have a way with... pulling your strings." I whisper in her ears.

"... Yes." She says.
