I thank Unnoticeable_Demon for helping.
Once upon a time, there was a man who fell in love with a doll. Perhaps the man's love made itself felt, for one day, the doll came to life and began to dance. The man was delighted. He thought a doll would never betray his love, and that now he could have the world's most pure and innocent love all to himself. Unfortunately for him, the doll who had been given life rejected the man's love and fell in love with another man.

Duck lay awake in her bed, staring at the ceiling. She hadn't slept all night.
"I couldn't sleep. Mytho, I wonder why he did that. For him to jump out of the window like that." Duck said quietly into the room, for she was sure Tiger was awake as well.
"As well as cutting up a dancer's shoes." Tiger said in reply.
"Could it be that his heart hasn't been completely returned yet? Then I've gotta try even harder to get the rest of his heart back for him and do it quickly." Duck said and her voice grew stronger with determination.
"Somehow, I don't think it will be that simple." Tiger said, truthfully.
The bell rang out over the school grounds and people (especially girls) were running. They were all shouting at each other in excitement and they were rallying each other.
"Oh, must be from the pushing incident." Lillie said as the girls stormed past them. She, Piqué and Duck had just arrived and could only guess what all the chaos was all about.
"Pushing in-" Duck repeated in confusion and she looked to her friends for an explanation.
"You don't know, Duck? The wonderful Fakir pushed the wonderful and unresisting Mytho out of the window." Piqué said to her, in contrast to Lillie and the other girls, her hushed voice spoke more of disbelief and shock than of sensation.
"What?!" Duck cried out in alarm.
"That's a lie! Fakir would never do that!" Tiger added in earnest.
"There's gotta be some kind of mistake because Mytho jumped out himself! It wasn't-" Duck tried, but Piqué cut her off with a skeptical tone.
"As if he'd do that." She said.
"Everyone was watching so excuses won't work." Lillie said with an amused wave of her hand.
"But it..." Duck trilled off, clearly in distress.
"I hope he becomes a full-fledged criminal and plunges headlong down the path becoming one of life's losers." Lillie said, a dreamy look on her face.
"That's it, Lillie! I've had it with your sadistic words! We're through!" Tiger yelled at her. Obviously slapping her won't even do it. She ran off, along the corridor and turned a corner. No one was there, everyone was listening at the door to Mr Cat's office, so Tiger turned herself into a cat. In cat-form she could easily slink herself between the legs of the other students and listen at the door. As she did so she could catch a few words Mr Cat was saying. Apparently he was comparing Fakir and Mytho's fight to the fight of the lovers in Giselle. Of course, there had been no argument, but no one could expect a heart being corrupted by Raven's blood.
"That's fine, but I can not allow you to share one room." Mr Cat then said, sternly.
"Then I'll-" Mytho began in his usual vague tone, but Fakir cut him off by saying that he would leave. Footsteps came quickly to the door and Fakir opened it with a jerk. All the girls who had leaned in to press their ears against the door fell in a heap inside the office. Fakir ignored them and walked out of the room.
