A witch brushing out her doll's hair.
They both go through the motions. The doll remains still as the witch brushes out its hair.
The witch talks about her day. The doll listens and responds in kind.
And, all of a sudden, she's crying.
And the doll remains still as she bows her head, far enough to touch the doll's head.
Her sobs come in shaking, heavy waves.
Between heaving breaths -
"Thank you so much for sticking with me, doll."
