Apparently they were not in Alaska, in fact, Zero informed her, they were nowhere close. He did say they could visit it one day though, making Doll believe that it was just a hop-skip-and a jump away. She nodded her head vigorously, clearly excited by the idea of visiting Alaska. "Where are we now then?" Maybe she could somehow figure out where they were going this way? Although Doll doubted it considering she didn't even know the name of the they had been in before. She was hardly able to sit still now, when they got there, wherever there was, they were going to build snowmen! And go sledding! The car suddenly started to go up a deep incline, driving through a fancy wrought iron gate that closed behind them. They pulled up behind a line of cars, the others had seem to reach it before them. Excitedly, Doll opened the door and unstrapped herself, stumbling out and into the snow. It was deeper here, almost knee deep, and one of the staff were in the middle of shoveling it. "There's so much!" Doll jumped up and down, throwing handfuls into the air.
The lights flickered on, it was night already and the soft glow of Christmas lights illuminated the snow in rainbow colors. Her eyes became wide, her expression one of awe. The lights were on the dimmest setting so as not to alert anyone nearby and the staff had figured there was no real danger in turning them on for a few minutes to welcome them. "Christmas!" The word made her happy for unknown reasons, it felt almost... Nostalgic somehow, the snow, the glowing lights, it was almost as though she had experienced this before. One of the staff placed their hand on her shoulder, ending the odd feeling and steered her inside. Perhaps it was too cold to play? Doll looked outside longingly. The house was bigger, but smaller than the mansion. The windows were large, the house nearly invisible from the road and any neighbors. Everything was so discreet.
She went to the window, looking outside at the tall trees that covered every side of the mansion. If she were to climb one, would she be able to touch the sky? Doll had always wanted to grab a cloud, especially the ones on the day that Zero had taken her to meet Isabel. The clouds had been so fluffy that day, like spun fairy floss, or the down of a pillow. "Can you sleep on clouds?" Doll wondered aloud. Around the entryway, workers were going in and out, bringing in bags and boxes. Where would they all sleep? There seemed to be so many of them? Did they all sleep on one big bed? Doll would have to ask Zero later.
