Miniature Garden Girl

"Do not need to know the world outside"

Miniature Garden Girl is a song released by Akuno-P on July 3, 2008. It is the third song in the Clockwork Lullaby Series, detailing the early life of the awakened Clockworker's Doll.

Plot
The song is about the Clockworker's Doll and her "father," Gallerian Marlon. The "daughter" has never left her room, nor can she walk, and questions what the world is like outside her home. Despite the fact that she doesn't know the world, she says that it's fine, as her "father" treats her with love and concern. She will stay in her little room and sing for him. In her confinement, she observes curious items in the room that whisper to her in a mocking tone, saying that she is the same as "they". She vows that she will continue to stay inside and sing for her father if that is what he wants. One day, she hears him say the word "war" and realizes the room is on fire. The song ends, noting how in the wreckage of the house, lie the remains of a lonely man and his half-burned doll.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * A "miniature garden", 箱庭 (hakoniwa), is a small, Japanese garden often dedicated to children for their fun and pleasure.

Curiosities

 * The "things" the Doll mentions include the vessels of Gluttony, Greed, and Vanity, marking their debuts before their signifigance was made known.
 * In the song PV, Gallerian is seen with brown hair despite later incarnations depicting him with blue hair, likely because the  doll's "father" had not been defined yet.
 * The doll's size and appearance varies throughout the song PV; in later depictions, she is consistently life-sized.
 * In the Judgement of Corruption song PV, one of the "chapters" is titled "The Miniature Garden Girl and the Vessels of Sin", referencing the song.
