Dolls and Fubai wine

It’s eerie that these dolls can be creepy and cool at the same time. I am guessing the innkeeper found a way to create a daughter to keep him company at the outpost and she further developed the skill but used it to get her own way. Today’s mini her was freaky and I am glad the cat was spared. This is the first time we see XuanYe vulnerable to self deception. He definitely understands the pitfall this is for Qiu and is actually successful at having him realize he needs to go home. I also think from time to time those two might get together with a jug of that wine and visit their ghosts to ease the pain of their loss. Misery does love company. The constable knows something is up but can’t prove it yet. When the daughter replaced the finger it was like ew and how’d she do that? They are a bit awkward but far more real than automotans. I am wondering if they will reveal how Pinocchio became a real boy. It is like Lego with flesh and blood. They can just add the missing piece and keep on going. Does the daughter intend to replace BanXia or just force herself as a companion? I am hoping the cat can communicate more directly because the daughter is running out of patience and the cat out of lives. The cast is doing an excellent job of making the drunken visions seem real, the daughter is like Wednesday dancing, and still figuring out the innkeeper part. Maybe he is just the gatekeeper trying to keep both sides safe. What would they see if all the calming balm was removed? Are the eyes taken from those attacked turn spy? Or just another example of the daughter’s craft multitasking? I am ready for them to finish up the cat/doll arc now. I hope the writer is too.
