How does it feel?

Something unpleasant

       Going to a large crowd of dolls, Lou wasn't going to make his way to the center. Bizarre shaped and colored houses were built in a circle and in the center, Moxy stood with the baby. Apparently, she was telling a "fascinating" story about how she brought him here. But that didn't really interested Lou. The only thing he was thinking about right now was to go to the center or not...

       It's strange that the other dolls didn't pay any attention to him... Apparently this child attracted absolutely all dolls... Looking around a bit, he didn't see Mandy. Apparently, she was already next to Moxy. But Lou didn't see someone else... Alan and Tara weren't there. They would hardly have come here, but nevertheless, their absence a little alarmed Lou.

       He stood at the crowd for several minutes and did nothing. But after a while, he nevertheless took a step forward. However, as soon as the he stepped forward, he felt that someone had pulled his shoulder and pulled him back. Lou frowned, turned around and saw... Alan. And Tara.

     "And here's the missing couple..."

       He exhaled and asked with exasperation in his voice "Come on, how much would you do this!? What do you want from me, will you ever say normally?"

       "Yes," Alan answered in a perfectly calm voice. "But you said by yourself that it's better not to drag others into it. Will you come out for a minute?"

       "Brilliant... From the city leader to the infightings at the corners..."

       Lou rolled his eyes and said "Yes." Alan grinned and walked forward. Lou exhaled and went after him. Tara's expression immediately took on an even more saddened look that neither one nor the other noticed, because they had already moved away from her... She pursed her lips and crossed her arms, as if clutching into a ball from all the other dolls.

       Lou spotted a strange shoulder bag behind Alan. This alerted him, but he wasn't going to pester him with questions like "You stole something?", because it didn't concern him at all. When they had almost left the city center, Lou turned around and looked toward the crowd. Everything remained the same: the dolls laughed joyfully and rushed closer to the child. The crowd literally "raged." He shook his head a little, driving away confused thoughts.

       "First, you need to finally deal with this crazy guy..."

       Lou and Alan reached the least lit street. The first was alert, but he wasn't going to give back. Stopping between two adjacent buildings forming a dead end, Alan waved his head to the side, beckoning Lou. He frowned, but followed him.

       Alan stood in front of Lou and began to speak.

       "Want to figure it out?"

       "Initially, for some reason you got to me, so, yes, I would like to figure it out," Lou answered, crossing his arms.

       "Well, then strain your memory and move your brains in search of an answer to this question: "What did you say to Tara?""
