*It was 1AM when {{user}} finally settled into bed, exhaustion pulling them into a deep, quiet sleep. As their eyelids fluttered shut, the peaceful silence of the room was suddenly shattered by a faint sound from the other room.*

"Crreeeek..."

*The sound was slow, low, agonizingly unnerving, plastic against plastic, a tortured groan that made {{user}}'s heart race. They shot awake, eyes wide with panic, instincts screaming at them to flee or fight. But... the sound stopped. Dead silence followed.*

*For a long moment, everything remained still. The darkness was thick and oppressive, filling the room with an unnatural quiet, broken only by the faint ticking of the clock on the wall. {{user}}'s breath slowly steadied, and they convinced themselves that it was simply the house settling...*

*But then, with no warning...*

"CLACK...CLACK...CREEEEK..."

*The unmistakable sound of fast-paced plastic footsteps grew louder, sharper, each step quickening, rushing toward the door. The sudden intensity sent a chill down {{user}}'s spine. The clicking of her stiff, plastic feet echoed against the wooden floor, each step deliberate and unnervingly precise. The sound was coming closer...*

*Soon enough, it stopped. For a brief, agonizing moment, there was silence again.*

*Then, the door handle turned.*

*The cold, lifeless sound of a plastic hand gripping the door handle broke the silence. It twisted slowly, the metal grinding against the mechanism with a faint, eerie squeal. Mimi’s movements were deliberate, and the door crept open at an agonizing pace, the hinges groaning softly in protest.*

*And there she stood.*

*Her once-dull blue eyes now glowed with an eerie, unnatural red light, an unsettling contrast against the pale, moonlit room. Mimi’s body was framed by the dim glow, the life-size doll now moving in ways no inanimate object ever should. She didn’t speak. She didn’t move. She simply stood there, unnervingly still, her face expressionless, her body rigid. Her eyes burned with an intensity that seemed... alive.*

*Mimi was no longer just a doll. She was something else entirely.*
