Ethan had a crush on his stepsister Lena. He deliberately gave her a doll that shared his senses. Lena had no idea. She treated it like any ordinary gift. When the adults were out, she often played with it, stroking its ears, squeezing its cheeks, sometimes hugging it tight while she rested. Those innocent touches kept hitting Ethan hard. Even in another room, he felt every jolt. He kept ducking into the bathroom to calm his body down and hide how wrecked he was. While the doll drew them closer, it became both intoxicating and damning. When the forbidden truth spilled, they stood together, targeted in a world that saw only sin.
