Emilico saw that the outside was big and wide. Two living dolls greeted Mia and Emilico. Mia introduces Rosemary as their leader because she is the oldest and Lou is the quiet living doll. Emilico was surprised and amazed at what she saw because she did not expect the outside to be so beautiful and have so many living dolls. Rosemary handed the cleaning kit and soot suit to Emilico. They don't need the soot suit first because they don't have to clean too much. Emilico was so happy because she had everything Rosemary gave her.

Emilico asked if she would throw away Kate's doll but Kate got angry and she replied that that doll was special to her and she left. Emilico apologized and she dried Kate's doll. Kate came back and she saw that her doll was clean. Kate apologized because she cried and Kate gave the doll she made for Emilico. Emilico named her doll Rolly.

While Emilico was cleaning the window she saw her doll falling so she caught it but they both fell. Kate quickly walked over to Emilico downstairs. Kate asked if Emilico is okay and Emilico said she was okay and she thanked Kate for coming. When the two were walking upstairs, Mia and her master, who introduced herself as Sarah, blocked them. Emilico was surprised by Mia's appearance and Emilico introduced Mia to Kate. Sarah bullied the two and Sarah shows her expression through Mia who is a really good living doll who is not like her master, and then Sarah says goodbye. Emilico and Kate went back and Emilico asks if she is a failure because she thinks she was just bothering Kate. But Kate explained that it wouldn't help and didn't choose and Emilico didn't choose her own face. and she even said Emilico tried to protect what was important to her and what she did was right. Kate heard that Emilico is growing. Emilico said that she will try to be more useful and she asked Kate to continue to guide her. Kate asked her that from now on Emilico will also take care of her body and Emilico saw that her knee was scrapped.

Emilico told herself that her scrapped knee would heal easily if she went to bed early, but Emilico couldn't sleep because she was thinking too much. She gets up and she does not fret over trivial matters that she thinks then she will forget them. Emilico suddenly asked herself what Shadows House really was.
