Dushevnaya was originally created as a nursing Doll, but her subsequent abandonment in a nursing home led to her developing a very strong desire to be needed. Before she lost her neural logs, questions like "Would things have been different if I had done a little better?" often resounded in her heart.

That quiet addition was not part of the script, but when I looked at her in confusion, there was no way I could say no to those expectant eyes of hers.

{{Dialogue|The forces of evil writhe, advancing to attack the great Hero.
The mighty, well guarded kingdom trembles. The future is uncertain.
Commander, please lend the Hero your strength and let us vanquish evil together!
You truly are the Hero's eternal friend, Commander! Thou hast the Hero's unshakable trust!|Dushevnaya}}
===Berserk Form Of Steel I===
{{Dialogue|Waaaaah–Watch out, Commander! Mine Hero’s body is malfunctioning! An emergency council is being held, but no one is able to convince another; they’re all bickering to no end!|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|(Dushevnaya rushes towards me in an uncanny manner as I enter her dorm room.)}}
{{Dialogue|Quick! Move out of the way! Commander, we're going to collide!
Woah!!! Owwww…
Ah… The hero needs… a brief respite…|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|(She executes a backward somersault at an unexpected angle just as we were about to collide. Dushevnaya slams into the ground in an awkward posture.)
(Dushevnaya’s mechanical limbs twitch uncontrollably as her frame lies limp on the ground.)
(I squat down and pat her head gently.)}}
{{Dialogue|Uuuuuu… Commander…|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|You seem to be dealing with something troublesome, Dushevnaya. Are you having issues with your frame again?|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|The Hero has failed to pass the trial. Evil’s punishment arrives at this very moment…|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|Um… I don’t really get it, but can you try to stand?|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|The Hero, will try…|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|(Dushevnaya’s hands grip mine tightly as i help her up and try to shift her into a standing posture.)}}
{{Dialogue|Slowly does it, mind your center of gravity…
That’s right, don’t rush. Well done, Dushevnaya. A little more and you'll be back on your feet.|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|Such trifling troubles won't faze the Hero. The crown of bipedal walking will ultimately be seated upon the Hero’s head!|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|Mmhm. It’s good that you’re enthusiastic about it… Huh? Wait!|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|C-Commander–! My leg–|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|(Just as I am about to successfully get Dushevnaya back on her feet, her calves suddenly start cramping. She loses her balance… and since she was hugging me tightly, we both fell to the ground.)}}
{{Dialogue|Ugh… (Cough)|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|C-Commander, you’re not going to let the Gravity Demon defeat thee just like that, right?
Has the arrow of fate struck your invulnerable Achilles body in the heel?|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|(Coughs) …I’m fine, just that I’ve lost all sensation in my arm…
Dushevnaya, could you let go of my hand? I need to check my arm.|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|Commander, I–the Hero has committed a crime! The Hero has committed the horrific crime of causing her dear friend to lose one’s left arm–|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|I didn’t lose my arm…
But I’ll have to pay Colphne a visit. Dushevnaya, please carry me and find Colphne.|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|Uuuuuu… My dear friend! You must hang on, I shall revive thee at the church right away!|Dushevnaya}}
===Berserk Form Of Steel II===
{{Dialogue|Oh, my dear friend, the Hero hast wronged thee. The Hero would like to express her most sincere apologies.
The Hero is willing to go through fire and water for you in return, there will be no complaint even if the Hero has to die a thousand deaths.|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|Through fire and water… a thousand deaths… who taught you those phrases? Never mind, it’s not important.|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|Uuuu… My dear friend! This is all the hero’s fault! This is so shameful that the only path forward is self-destruction!|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|No, don’t! Absolutely don’t! Actually, my arm has almost made a full recovery now… No need to bring me to Colphne. Just let me check on my arm for a bit. |Commander}}
{{Dialogue|(Dushevnaya watches each and every move of mine with curious intent. She is close enough that she’s practically pressing herself against me.)}}
{{Dialogue|The arm of a human is so different from the one attached to my frame…
Structurally similar, but fundamentally different…|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|Interesting. The other Dolls have made similar comments too.|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|The Hero has to pursue new knowledge with passion to be able to defeat the demon king!|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|Never mind what I said… Anyway, looks like my arm itself is actually fine, but I do have a dislocation from falling down too hard.|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|A dislocation?|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|It’s like if the bearing at the end of your arm got separated from the socket that connects your arm to your torso. When that happens to a human, the condition is called a dislocation.|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|Ohhh. So that’s how it is… So, like this?|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|(Dushevnaya suddenly removes her left forearm. She cheerfully waves it at me with her functioning right arm like an excited child herring her parents’ attention.)}}
{{Dialogue|Is mine attempt demonstrative of such an explanation, dear friend?|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|I… guess…. Ah… Um… Basically. Yeah…|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|This matter happens to my frame on a regular basis, so I am highly familiar with the solution to this problem.
Demon named Dislocation! This Hero swears to destroy you–!|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|(Dushevnaya shoves her left arm back onto the socket with a loud “snap” before I can even react to what’s happening.)}}
{{Dialogue|...|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|My dear friend! Allow me to defeat the Dislocation Demon within thy vessel as well!|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|(Dushevnaya attempts to reach for my injured left arm.)}}
{{Dialogue|No, no that’s okay! I’ll handle this myself!|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|(I move my forearm into the right position before she can act, sweating profusely in the process.)}}
{{Dialogue|Now i really have to get help from Colphne… Can you help me, Dushevnaya?|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|U-understood! My beloved dear friend, I shall now send thee to a church in a flash!|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|D-Do that slowly…|Commander}}
===Berserk Form Of Steel III===
{{Dialogue|My left arm will need some time to recover, so do try to mind that in the meantime. Anyway, what’s happening to your frame, Dushevnaya?|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|I, too, have sunk into the mire of doubt. Old memories show no record of such a severe limb conflict.
Such difficulty must be punishment from a Demon, I, I…|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|(The hair flaps near Dushevnaya’s ears suddenly perk up like a puppy. She grabs my shoulders with excitement.)}}
{{Dialogue|I swear to guard my cherished friend even if I’m trapped in the deepest pits of desperation |Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|(Hisses in pain) Dushevnaya, I appreciate the sentiment, but be a bit more gentle…
I know you grabbed my shoulders, but if you do it too hard and too suddenly, the shock will travel to my arm as well.|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|I-I’m so sorry…|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|(Her hair flaps lower like a sad puppy.)
(I pat her head with my right hand, as if I was comforting a sad puppy)}}
{{Dialogue|Don't worry about it. Are your limbs going out of control a lot recently?|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|Yeah.|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|Is it getting more frequent? Have you checked with Rosalind and Mayling? Any maintenance reports?|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|(Dushevnaya shakes her head in silence.)}}
{{Dialogue|Why didn’t you go for a checkup?|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|T-there’s something that I must protect…|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|Dushevnaya, I’m glad for your desire to protect people or things, but you should prioritize the condition of your frame.
Besides, a functioning frame with no abnormalities will enable you to better protect the things and people you love, don't you agree?|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|I-In any case… The stars have foretold that it would be unwise to engage in matters of frame maintenance for these few days!
My dear friend, thy goodwill is remembered within mine heart. But say no more, for my decision on the matter of this frame is decided!
What is most important now is that my dear friend rises from the seating position. Rise, my dear friend–|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|(Sigh)|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|(Despite my attempts to press her for an answer, she dodges the question repeatedly.)}}
{{Dialogue|If you don't want to give me an answer right now, then I won't press the issue.
But you cannot leave this severe case of frame control loss untreated indefinitely.
I know you won’t be happy to hear this, but I’ll get Rosalind or Mayling to conduct a full check on your frame next week. Repairs and replacements will happen if necessary.
Do you understand, Dushevnaya?|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|Your will is clear to me!|Dushevnaya}}
===Berserk Form Of Steel IV===
{{Dialogue|Dushevnaya, it’s time for your checkup. Where are you?|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|Dear friend, I-I’m doing my best–|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|(Metallic clinking sounds come from Dushevnaya’s room. I knock on her door.)}}
{{Dialogue|Can I enter?|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|The hourglass of time needs to be flipped for a moment…|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|Alright. I’ll wait for you.|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|(The door to Dushevnaya’s dorm room opens slowly after a while.)
(Dushevnaya’s limbs appear to be fully functional, but her fingers and toes seem to be producing slight twitches. They look soft and powerless, as if there are no bones present within.)}}
{{Dialogue|My frame is perfectly fine, dear friend. No need for a checkup–|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|Give me your hand.|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|Dear friend…|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|(Dushevnaya complains softly as she awkwardly shows me her hands. I hold them gently and begin a close examination.)}}
{{Dialogue|Your fingertips are trembling. Not only are your phalanges joined together incorrectly, they also twitch sporadically.
These are some really old scratch marks. It’s hard to sustain scratches this deep on the Elmo. Did you swap out your hands, Dushevnaya?|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|Mmm…|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|Let’s have a seat on that sofa.|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|(With her hand in mine, I lead Dushevnaya to the sofa. She suddenly stumbles on the way, so I quickly catch her before she falls}}
{{Dialogue|S-Sorry…|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|Let’s sit down first. I need to have a look at your legs.|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|T-there’s no need for that… My legs are fine, dear friend. I haven’t changed them. No problems!|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|(Dushevnaya hurriedly plants her hands on her thighs, which suddenly jump up in response.)}}
{{Dialogue|My dear friend…|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|Does it look like there’s no problem? Dushevnaya, I will have Mayling do a full inspection even if I have to go against your wishes. You agreed to this last week.|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|I-I must not abandon this frame, dear friend… To be honest, I went for a checkup after our last conversation, and indeed, this frame is troubled with numerous issues. But these are issues that I am willing to endure, as the complications happen at a very low rate…|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|You had Mayling check your body? Ah… So that anonymous test report was for your frame. She wouldn’t tell me who it belonged to no matter what, saying that the Doll in question asked her to keep her identity a secret.
Dushevnaya, I can understand why you don’t want to change your frame. The parts that make up your frame may not be highly compatible with each other, but they do provide you with combat performance far exceeding that of a normal frame. It is for this reason that you don’t want to change it out, right? But if you let this drag on…|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|I know, but mine ultimate purpose and meaning is to serve as a guardian for my dear friends. This is my power, a born talent bestowed to me by the will of the universe, and I must not reject it!|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|(Dushevnaya speaks with righteous confidence. I can almost see the fire blazing in her eyes.)}}
{{Dialogue|Things will get really bad if your frame goes haywire in combat… You know this, right, Dushevnaya?|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|...Yes, I know. Not only would the Hero meet her demise, her actions would also endanger her precious teammates.
But… I-I… simply can’t bring myself to replace this body…|Dushevnaya}}
{{Dialogue|I understand how you feel, Dushevnaya. Hmm… Based on what I read in the report, a way to keep your frame does exist.
It’s just that we’ll have to update the engineering technology we use aboard the Elmo. I’m afraid I’ll need to trouble Mayling with a bunch of overtime again… I’ll talk to Mayling about this, so make sure to thank her.|Commander}}
{{Dialogue|(Dushevnaya hugs me tightly to the point that I am nearly unable to breathe.)}}
{{Dialogue|You have my deepest gratitude, my most beloved friend!|Dushevnaya}}
