Love Diagnosis Novel

A six-year-old narrator fights with their older sister over a handmade knitted doll their mother created. The sister, born prematurely and described as clumsy and small, refuses to relinquish the toy. The narrator, believing themselves cleverer and more deserving, forcefully attempts to reclaim it, viewing the sister's possessions as rightfully theirs. During the struggle, a button eye from the doll breaks off, startling both children into silence as their father's music plays in the background—a song about the devil in disguise. The narrator immediately resents their sister for this, blaming her for the damage. The sister begins crying while clutching the damaged doll, prompting the narrator to threaten her, warning that tears will result in punishment. The narrator reflects bitterly on how their sister always escapes consequences due to parental favoritism, attributing this to her strawberry blonde curls and pale appearance. The narrator deeply resents being overshadowed and views their sister as the source of constant trouble and unfair treatment.
