Debut

A Debut is a test taken by new pairs of Shadows and Living Dolls to see how well they match. Every Debut is made of a class with five pairs with at least one failure to be expected, ran by an adult referred to as the examiner.

After a pair successfully passes their Debut, they are able to leave their room, interact with others, and follow a schedule of activities. Shadows will be able to apply for changes in their room, such as furniture, wallpapers, perfume, and clothing. Living Dolls are expected to wear an outfit called a "Portrait" out of their room with their master, and only mirror their master's expressions and movements wordlessly.
