The males already held Si Shuo dear to their hearts, missing her terribly after just a short while apart. Now, with the addition of the recording dolls, their longing for her only grew stronger. It felt like trying to scratch an itch through a boot—it only made things worse.
Following Si Shuo's recording, the males tentatively called out to the dolls, "I'm here, I'm here, your... is here!"
There were over twenty interactive phrases in total. After trying them all out, they realized that at best, it was a way to hear the little female's voice when they couldn't see her—a small comfort for their longing.
The primary function of the recording dolls was to record and send messages to one another. Hearing the other person's voice was much more direct.
They listened to Si Shuo's recordings several times before each recording a message of their own. Then, they put the dolls into their spatial storage, leaving a note on top.
