Do you perhaps have a good definition of stillness, (as it pertains to dolls that is, of course)?
stillness changes depending on the doll! in some cases, it can be a quiet peace that comes from not needing to think about correct decisions, trusting in its witch's words and decisions! perhaps it can be peace from a witch's ire, as a form of dissociation! it can be somewhat like meditation! or it can simply be how one feels when at rest!
or, of course, stillness felt by not a doll at all!
with such in mind, this one also would like to offer a story from another writer!
this one is grateful to Powder of Infinity for the question!♪♫
