This comment is so old but I'll reply anyway haha. The boy had always been a doll. Everyone in the town is a doll. That is why everyone is so unbearably beautiful, because they are creations. It seems that the only character of flesh and blood was the tinkerer. That is why he is unlike everyone else, he is of a different species, trying to adhere to their beauty standards.
Oh, thank you for your explanation! I think I can understand now. This story has a deep meaning. I think sometimes we can relate with this story.
This is bittersweet and beautiful. But I can't understand about the doll thing. I mean why the boy became a doll? Can someone please explain it to me?
