OOC: So, this one's been running through my mind for a while. I've had a rough idea of it ever since the Noriko arc, but it's gone through a couple rewrites, and it didn't enter the final sequence of events you see here until after that arc had finished. I figure since I'd decided definitively how it went, it'd be a good idea to finally write it up. This takes place during the Noriko arc, when Isabel believed herself to be a doll, right before she went all Black Rose crazy.
