For a decade, she sat. A masterpiece without a soul. The townsfolk called her "Velas' Folly." Children dared each other to tap on the glass of his sealed workshop window, only to run away screaming when they thought they saw her finger twitch.
For the first time in years, he felt something. An overwhelming, crushing ecstasy . The joy of a dying star. The bliss of a shattered vase.

"Hello, Father," she whispered. Her voice was the sound of wind chimes in a graveyard.
She looked at him—her creator, her father, her fool—with her mercury eyes. She did not look angry. She looked satisfied .
For the marionette has found her strings. And the world is her stage.
They were not glass. They were liquid mercury, reflecting the world in perfect, terrifying clarity.
And Lord Aldric smiled, empty and blissful, as he became her first puppet.
He hired a reclusive mechanism savant, a woman named Dr. Aris Thorne, to complete the work. Aris was a genius of "resonant kinetics"—the science of transferring emotion into machinery. She didn't want to just make Elise walk. She wanted to make her yearn .
That night, she dismantled his prized hunting rifle and re-assembled it as a music box.

One evening, he confessed his loneliness to her. "I have everything, Elise. Money, art, this house. But I feel nothing. I am hollow."
