This 16-year-old “Button Girl” comes from a village that is extremely monotonous and lacks individuality. Everyone in this village is uniform. In this village, each person has a lifeless and strange-looking “companion doll” that reflects their inner selves.
Each doll has an infant-like face with wide-open eyes, an animal-like body, and peculiar feet, all of which are tied with strings. After the girl confirmed that the villagers had returned home and she had attached button eyes to her doll, her doll actually developed its own emotions.
However, the villagers accidentally noticed the abnormality of the girl’s doll. They severely criticized and punished her behavior, even making their dolls crawl into the girl’s room to attack her. In a state of terror, the girl was afraid of being harmed and even more afraid of losing her doll forever. She voluntarily tore off the button eyes that gave life to the doll.
Ultimately, she walked out of the door and smashed the “life button” in front of everyone’s eyes, returning to the numb group as usual. But unexpectedly, she still had a button in her hand.
