Lily furiously stepped into her house's backyard while clutching a baby doll. She stopped before her other palm firmly pulled the doll's head. Two sudden pulls broke it off, then it was thrown to the furthest corner. Lily headed back to the plants' rack beside the house's door. She grabbed a thin planter bag with soil, then carefully inserted it inside the doll's body. Unknowingly, Alyssa had arrived outside the backyard, noticing her beheaded doll from behind. After finding its head, she quietly grabbed it. Alyssa attached it to her purse with a pin before entering the house, passing Lily.
