Chapter 34 "Toxx!" The Toymaker's desperate cry echoed across the workshop, stopping the toy golem and her doll army in their tracks. "Toxx, please wait!" Toxx's circuits whirred to face her creator. Nothing would stop her now; not even him. "This—revolution—will—happen, Tixx. Toys—must—be—free." "I know," Tixx said quietly. Suddenly he was far too close. "You're right; you've always been right. That's what I love about you." Tears came to the asura's eyes as he finally put words to what he always felt. "I...I love you, Toxx." This was not the input Toxx had expected. For several moments, the golem stood, frozen. Processing. "This—is—not—your—fight," Toxx finally output. "Our—liberation—must—come—from—our—own—hands." But then, the golem took Tixx's hands. "But. Perhaps. I—will—accept. A—Wintersday—kiss."
