Keep still and let it happen

You close your eyes and keep your body still, but tense. What if she grabbed you in a bad place and broke something, or worse? You're too scared to see it happen.

To your relief, her warm grip is very gentle, even at your scale. As you're lifted into the air and take in the view of Hanako's body as you go, in your head you thank Lilly for stressing your fragility; she's definitely proven she knows how to handle a situation.

You feel yourself being turned around a bit between the fingers, with the same gentle carefulness as before. As your eyes meet with the massive violet wells of her eyes, partially obscured by a theatre curtain's worth of hair, she pauses moving you around.

"Th-this isn't jewelry. This is... a doll?"

"No, Hanako!" Lilly's voice interjects. "However, I think that's what I was looking for. Just put it in my palm gently and I'll explain."

You crane your neck and see Lilly approach, extending her palm. Hanako places you down.

You barely stop yourself from kissing Lilly's hand. Instead, you seat yourself comfortably and calm down, looking up at the faces of the girls above you. Lilly's looking at Hanako, preparing to speak with her, but Hanako's looking right at you, and odd smile on her face, like she's really happy to see you. Even with what little you know about her, that seems a little unlike her.

"You see Hanako," Lilly begins, "to put it simply, this is actually the new student in your class. This is his disability... rather, shrinking like this is."

Lilly pauses a moment as Hanako gasps and takes a step back before speaking up. "Th-thats... it's him...?" Hanako's smile fades and her hand raises to cover her face.

You're startled by a booming laugh coming from Lilly, which may have been just a giggle in reality. "My my, Hanako, you don't have to be so scared all of a sudden.

Hanako shakes her head. You can't help but feel a little downtrodden. She liked you a lot better when she thought you were a doll. You sort of wish you could go back to that. It wouldn't be so bad, being doted over and useful as a companion to a cute girl who seems kind of lonely.

You snap out of your wild daydream in time to notice Lilly has been speaking for a while longer. "-and so if he doesn't, he ends up... well, like this. It's not really his fault.

Hanako is still unmoved, looking like she just wants you to get out, but Lilly refuses to give up.

"Hanako, come on, just look at him. There's nothing to be scared of. What could he hope to do at this size?"

You're not sure if Lilly is serious or joking, but your thoughts are confirmed by a sudden jab to your side, sending you flat on your face with what you assume to be Lilly's finger pinning you down.

Hanako giggles momentarily. You can't see her, however, due to being shoved partially into Lilly's palm flesh.

"Hey!" You yell out. Lilly's obviously not pressing down hard enough to hurt you, but you really don't appreciate being bullied. You bang on her skin with your fists.

"It... speaks?" Hanako asks, probably just surprised you've been quiet this whole time more than anything. Though the whole ordeal has left you speechless, you should probably say something to her.
