has dolly ever though of sending Mel to the valley of babies?
She would never!
Dolly has grown attached to Mel - kinda like me when my brother asked me to hold on to a stray cat he found in his car one day on his way to work. I told him I'd look after the thing until he got back, and then we'd send her to the SPCA. Five years later and Teacup is basically my daughter now. Sorry, I got off track.
Even if Mel toy fugued and became perma-baby brained, Dolly would still continue to take care of her, likely out of guilt. Mel is her responsibility in her eyes.
Now, she has TAKEN Mel there in an effort to make her feel more comfortable around others in the same predicament as her, but Mel finds the Valley of Babies deeply...disturbing. She's a grown woman in her 30s, God damn it.
The Valley of Babies is populated by those who have either made peace with their new infantile existence or tragically succumbed to toy fugue.
