Nobody's perspective 

"We're here!" A pair of voices chimed in from the front door, both filled with cheer and both lacking the knowledge to the previous night's events. The one with casts around her ankles walked over to the couch, seeking a place to sit down. Instead, she found a puppet in a clean white dress, (H/L) (H/C) hair laying against the back of its head, sitting upright on the couch with both hands on its lap and its eyes closed. She backed away a little bit, fear crossing her face. "Erm, Iris? Come look..." She called, iris immediately popping her head into the living room to see what her sister was scared about. Fear crossed her expression as she examined the puppet for herself. "Another one? We've already dealt with enough..." Iris stated, bringing a hand to her forehead. 

Unbeknownst to them, the puppet was listening to their every word. She soon opened up her eyes, looking at the two while they were discussing the presence of a new creation. "Pardon, But  could you two please explain why you're in Yumi's home?" (Y/N)'s voice piped up with a curious tone. They jumped back with a scream, and ran out of the room. With a sigh, a cloud of smoke rose around the puppet, revealing the more humanoid version of it walking towards the stairs. She sat herself on the bottom step, using her palm to prop up her head and look directly at the two in a somewhat playful manner. "I suppose you two are the ones who suffered the fate of the mary's Shoes. Iris and lily?" She asked, getting the attention of the both of them before reaching out a hand to take.

Your perspective 

 "You obviously know about what's going on, judging by what's happened to who would seem to be lily's Ankles," You began, glancing down at the braces around one of the girls' ankles. "so allow me to properly introduce myself. My name is (Y/N) the puppet. Pleasure to meet you." Both lily and Iris were hesitant to step forward to properly greet you, until you heard two sets of footsteps from upstairs approaching. Looking behind you, you saw Paris and Yumi at the top of the staircase, Yumi waving at the pair with a wide smile. "Good morning, you two. What brings the visit, Iris?" Paris questioned as he began his descent, much slower than Yumi's quick pace to greet the two.

"Well... I just wanted to say thanks again for the help with the shoes. But why is there another one of those... things... here? And you haven't dealt with them?" Iris responded, obviously referring to you in the last part. 'Rude... I'm right here...' You thought to yourself with a grim frown directed towards iris. "No need to be rude, now. Iris, lily, this is my partner, (Y/N). Though, I suppose she doesn't need introductions more than that." Paris corrected Iris. Both her and lily appeared baffled by his explanation, and they exchanged worried glances. "You mean, you: Paris, the badass, need a partner? But, why another one of them? Isn't Yumi enough?" Lily questioned. You raised your hand before Paris could speak, signaling to him you had more of a proper reaction to her question. "Well, as you know from your own experiences," you gestured to the braces on lily's Ankles. "Our creator's mistakes can prove a threat to a human's health, even more-so a child's. And he already assumed when it came to the original idea of Paris, he'd need help, or at least someone to make sure he's in control. Thus, he made the both of us at the same time. And while dear Yumi's ability has indeed helped a great lot, we cannot exactly risk her getting gravely hurt, now can we?" You retorted to lily.  

Yumi stood there with a scared expression as she spoke up. "Actually... speaking of my ability..." "we have another lead."
