Not realising that, as the resident witch, Sarah NEEDED the castle's influence to grow, said edifice decided to speed up its game.
Mickey wandered into a room… well, there were small wooden selves everywhere… and small wooden tables, and glass display cases… Like to show trinkets and other knickknacks. But of the selves, tables and display cases were desperately empty.
There must have been a draft in the castle, because the door slammed shut behind him. Mickey ironically didn't pay it any mind.
What he DID notice was the central display case, which contained a scene evoquing Japan. It stuck him as particularly odd in an occidental castle, but like anything looking Japanese, it also facinated him.
Wanting to touch this decor, Mickey opened the display case and put his hand in it. His wole body became pain, to the point he blaked out.

After her make-out session with her mate, Sarah choose to take a stroll around her castle. She should have passed-out, much like her Nate, but Mickey's recent change had given her a boost.
Passing next the room in which the entity formerly known as Mickey resided, wanting to admire the result of its transformation.
There were small wooden selves everywhere… and small wooden tables, and glass display cases… Almost all of them being empty. The only exeption was the central case, inside which you could see a decor evoking asia and a woden doll looking like a geisha.
Upon seeing the werewolf-witch entering, the cursed doll who used to be Mickey bowed. “It's an honor to see you enter this umble room, Sarah-sama.”
“You don't need to be so formal with me Mickey, we are friend after all.” Assured Sarah.
“Mickey was my human name,” retorted the cursed doll “I am now known as Sakura, Kunoichi and leader of your futur army of cursed doll. And as such, I am forbiden all form of familiarity toward you, Sarah-sama.” Then after an akward pause, the little assasin asked “Do you want me to recruit Cody, Sarah-sama?”
The werewolf-witch shook her head. “No, the castle already made plans for him. But if you could lure Justin into joining them… Don't esitate to ask the castle for help.”
“As you wish, Sarah-sama,” answered Sakura, changing into a more typical ninja atire before jumping out of her display case and running outside the room.
Sarah, for her part, walked toward Cody's curent location, planing to help the castle lure him toward his new life.
