She goes back to the shop to get the doll fixed and asks the owner, Miss Charlotte, if it's strange that she has an attachment to the doll. Miss Charlotte tells her it's natural, but other people won't understand it. She tells Gabrielle about her own doll that she keeps which is her sister that has died.
