Summary
On the operating table was a selection of doll parts. All from different toys. The most recognisable being the CatBee head that stared emptily with eyeless sockets.
Preston followed orders despite the trembling of his hands. The trembling of his entire body as it was. And by the end of the seventh hour, Dr. Jessica Newman was freshly a toy. Doomed to the same fate that she condemned countless other orphans like her.
“I’m so glad that you were there when I ₙₑₑdₑd yₒᵤ, ᴾʳᵉˢᵗᵒⁿ.” 1006 crooned. “Now ᴵ ᶜᵃⁿ be there for ʸᵒᵘ, always.”
"Always..." Preston mumbled faintly.

Summary
In retrospect, it was very much obvious. Their first meeting was… strange, if nothing else. Preston later learned that, before he came along, there had never been such a thing as a positive reaction from 1006.
“Why is he doing this to you?” Theodore settled for asking, after minutes of comfortable silence.
“Because it’s his way of making sure I can stay with him. Making sure that I’ll be okay.” Preston recited. “Eternity is lonely, so he wants to make me immortal like him.”
“He has set us free.” Theo whispered.
“He has, hasn't he?”
