How does it feel?

Teamwork

       Mandy, Lou and Moxy collected dolls throughout the Institute of the perfection. There were more and more dolls who wanted to help, and in the forefront, of course, were Moxy's friends. They have already sailed to Uglyville, simultaneously urging an increasing number of dolls.

       The Trinity, who began all this, became a little tired.

       "Sooo, seems like we already have called everyone..." Mandy stopped to catch her breath.

       "Hey! You forgot someone else!" Moxy made a displeased face and waved her hands.

       Mandy raised her head and looked at Moxy in surprise.

       "Really...?"

       Moxy crossed her arms and glared at Mandy. Mandy looked away. They stood like this for two minutes. Lou watched at them in silence. He decided not to interfere in their... conversation? Dispute? It was hard to say what was happening right now.

        "It's like... kinda a friendship...?"

       "Ox," Moxy answered shortly, squinting.

       Lou immediately frowned. Although he understood that this couldn't be avoided, he didn't want to meet Ox.

       Mandy gritted her teeth and immediately apologized to Moxy.

       "Sure! We walked through so many dolls that my head no longer works..."

       "And so there is me! You forget something all the time!"

       "And? You are have one head for two?" Lou asked, looking at Moxy.

       "Hey! That was very rude, Lou!" Moxy shouted at him.

       Lou rolled his eyes and turned his head in the opposite direction. Mandy pulled a smile and hurried to remove the tense atmosphere between the two.

       "Нeyyy! This is no time to quarrel. Lou, don't you remember what we were talking about?"

        "Yes, take into account the feelings of others and all that," Lou breathed.

       "Well, that's great! Then we should hurry up and find Ox..."

       "I totally agree!" answered Moxy.

       Mandy smiled, but when she looked at Lou her smile disappeared. Lou... Just stood. In his gaze, Mandy felt emptiness... His eyes just looked to the side, not concentrating on anything specific... More precisely... He looked into the void.

      "Lou..." Mandy went to the guy and pulled a hand to his shoulder.
