Jinpei Matsuda received a doll from a child he had rescued from an explosion. It had shoulder-length hair, droopy purple eyes, and even gave people a cute wink. The little thing was barely bigger than his palm, but for some reason, Matsuda couldn't bring himself to dislike it.
After that, people noticed a cute doll on the desk of Jinpei Matsuda, the stone-faced cool guy in the Bomb Disposal Unit. It was the kind he carried to and from work every day.
Kenji Hagiwara had a doll too. One day, while out shopping after a group date with some girls, he spotted it at the mall and fell for it at first sight: wild curls, a carefree smile, and a perfectly adorable face!
After that, people noticed a doll on the desk of Kenji Hagiwara, the social butterfly of the Bomb Disposal Unit. He even went out of his way to learn how to make little accessories for it, and spent every day happily doting on his doll.
“Jinpei-chan~~~ Weren't you just going to the convenience store? You're back so quickly... Whoa! Who's this kid? How could you get a stand-in for Hagi-chan!”
Jinpei Matsuda stared blankly at the six-foot-two, breathing creature in front of him, identical to his doll. He began to wonder if he'd gotten so busy with all the murder cases in Beika Town that his brain had finally given out.
“You...?”
“Waaah, Jinpei-chan has never hugged Hagi-chan this intimately. Hagi's heartbroken...”
The giant doll clutched his chest as if in anguish, then weakly leaned against Matsuda. “I don't care, Hagi-chan wants a little Jinpei doll too, ”
“Hagi, I brought your lunch. You were going to... Hm?”
Hagiwara Kenji turned and saw a handsome man who looked exactly like his doll, and was utterly his type. The man spotted the doll in Hagiwara's arms, paused, and then gave him a look that was hard to describe.
“Wait... what...”
“Hagi, I didn't know you were into this sort of thing...” The man with the big curls frowned. “...Do you have one of me? I want one too.”
I don't get it. Let me see one.
*Hopefully I can keep the relationships straight (pacing back and forth).
*This feels kind of fun.
*They got each other's dolls in worlds where they hadn't met, then went to worlds where they were together... (What is this person even rambling about?)
Theme: Even if we never met, I still love you.
