Summary
A very young Vincent (perhaps 5 years old) asks Father for a doll. Vincent loves his doll, but Devin and the other Tunnel children tease him, telling him dolls are not for boys, and Vincent asks Father to put the doll away.
Mary finds a the very young Catherine wandering in the tunnels and brings her to Father and Vincent. She has wandered away from a party Above. Vincent gives his doll to Catherine.
Later, a fully-grown Vincent and Catherine think/dream of the doll, and discover that it was not a dream at all, that they really had met as children.

Reactions and Reviews
From the Qfer:
P.S. Nim, renowned in this fandom as a comic writer and skilled artist, has produced her own graphic novel. It consists solely of Nim's drawings and dialogue, telling an original, non-humorous story. In the present, Catherine muses on Vincent, leading into a past story in which Vincent and Catherine meet as adorably-drawn children...and share something special. Back in the present, on Catherine's balcony, they again share something special in their love for one another as grown-ups (note the guessed-at G rating). There are 122 panels of art. All fans will enjoy the charming story and the unique artwork. Unique in imagination, artistry, and execution. You can't get better for any price. [1]
