| − | Even for an enterprise that gathers odd folks like Ultimate Life, Vee is a special case. She is very satisfied with the way she was born, as it exemplifies her pursuit of the “unique”. Rejecting “uniformity” is not merely the rule Vee follows when accepting clients, but the overarching creed that she lives by.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In this regard, Vee is grateful to the sales department of Ultimate Life. If they hadn’t changed the sales positioning of the UL-CS5 series to target the high-end customization market, then perhaps Vee would be like the previous series. Endlessly performing procedures that give clients that same uniform beauty they saw on TV.

| |
| − | Vee’s specialty lies not in personal characteristics like surgical methods or aesthetic sense, but actually in her lifestyle. Professionally, she frequents many universities and has formed connections with several Fine Arts professors specializing in sculpting. A peculiarity, since Dolls usually rely on data transmission for learning and so are an uncommon sight on school grounds.
| |
| − | | |
| − | “Beauty cannot be learned by data transmission alone. What is beauty? What kind of things can be called ‘beauty’? What combination of facial features can be considered beautiful? I still must learn more. Much more. Only by going out and continuously learning, feeling, and interacting can I truly understand. Solely relying on networks and data feeds just simply won’t get me there.”<br>

| |
| − | Not one is born to look perfect. But humans all have a desire for beauty.<br>
| |
| − | That's what created the need to modify one's appearance, and people have made it possible with scalpels and modern science. The latest technology can even reconstruct a person entirely.<br>
| |
| − | Well, I personally prefer creating works of art with my own hands than performing surgeries for others. This probably seems quite strange to you.

| |
| − | Don't be so scared, Professor.<br>
| |
| − | This practice has been around for thousands of years. Back in the days of ancient Egypt, they cast the dead's faces with mud to immortalize their appearance. Fast forward to the not-very-distant past, European people had their masks made when they were still alive to serve as a memory, since a human's appearance can change while they age. Now, thanks to 3D printing technology, it's become pretty convenient to make your own mask.

| |
| − | "Cosmetic surgeon" doesn't quite express the expanse that is Vee's talents. She contains all of Ultimate Life's core technologies related to the human body, and, like all of Ultimate Life's Dolls, she possesses all standard medical credentials. It's no exaggeration to say that she could easily transform any part of the human body.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But that is not Vee's way. She believes that there must be a limit to all changes. A facial procedure can be considered a cognizant being's pursuit of beauty, but a full-body reconstruction is tantamount to reshaping one's entire existence. Body modification is a request that Vee has received more than once, with some people even asking to have ribs removed just to make their waist look a bit thinner.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Vee has no room to refuse these requests, but she always does her best to preserve a client's original parts. It's not uncommon for Vee to speak with clients for three days, discussing their hobbies, work, and daily life. She then
| |
| − | pulls inspiration from those conversations to fine-tune their personal operation plans. In this way, clients are made more aware of their body's own irreplaceable beauty.

| − | | |
| − | Plastic surgery can be quite painful, you know? People are even willing to have their bones removed in the pursuit of beauty.
| |
| − | I keep the scraped bone pieces in a formalin tank. And now I have three full tanks of them.<br>
| |
| − | The average person would've been overwhelmed by the time they saw these.<br>
| |
| − | You seem to be doing fine, though?

| |
| − | In addition to her aforementioned habits, there is an additional item in Vee's terms of service that stands out. "The client shall authorize Vee to retain a mask based on their post-operation appearance."
| |
| − | | |
| − | Vee has amassed a collection of these. If she lies back in her office chair, she can view an unfinished face composed of these masks staring back at her from the ceiling.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The peculiar trait does serve a purpose. To Vee, these masks are witness to the cooperation between her and her client—their shared exploration of the concepts of "beauty" and "unique". Through this, she is, bit by bit, pushing through the fog that veils that unseen face—the one that is unique to her alone.
