Her father was crazy, mad! He turned people, real, living, breathing, people into dolls for experiment. He had killed his wife and made his assistant, Maria, lie to Aya saying it was illness. She lived there for years under the hand of a mad man. When she and Maria managed to get away, barely escaping with their lives, Dio chose to burn the mansion down. It would lift the curse; destroy all trace of mad father's existence. Dio knew for a fact once the curse was lifted he and the other dolls would be nothing but simple lifeless shells. 'I thought the curse was lifted. Once the mansion burned down... I should be dead... Is he still there? Did he not die?' These are thoughts that run through Dio's mind daily. It's been years since that day. Aya would be about Dio'd age now. He often wonders what happened to both her and Maria. A new mansion was built in the place of the old one, which no one resigns in, or so the public thinks. The "dolls" that were not killed in the fire still roam the deserted halls. When one day Aya returns, Dio is afraid. If her father was not dead, she was in danger, but if he had been killed in the fire and the curse was not lifted then Aya may be going mad herself.
