As Laura tries to think about her next move, the officer picks her up and takes her to a patrol car, where they buckle her up in a car seat. They drive away. Laura urgently sucks on her pacifier to comfort herself until she begins to hear a voice.
"Five years you have walked this Earth, now this number is but two, each roll of the says shall restore more of what you have lost."
At that moment, Laura begins to shrink more and more to the point that her clothes were too big for her. Now she did look like a real toddler.
But how were the dice able to roll if she had kept them safe? The only possible reason she can think of is that the safe was not fully closed and the cat must have rolled the dice again, causing her to become younger. If the dice turn again, she will get younger more and more. Every time Laura thought more and more about dice, she ends up sucking on her pacifier more urgently.
Finally, they arrive at the police station.
When the officer is about to get Laura out of the car, she notices that she was smaller now than before.
"Hey, is it my imagination or did you get smaller?"
Laura simply sucks on the pacifier in response to the officer's question.
The officer then leads Laura inside, past the front desk, through the bullpen, and to a door with a sign saying "Childcare Center." The officer opens the door and brings Laura over to the daycare worker at the front desk.
"Got an abandoned toddler for you," says the officer, handing Laura over to him. "We still don't know anything about her, not even her name."
"We could get her to talk," says the daycare worker. "And aren't those clothes a little big for her?"
"Well, the first time I saw her she was a little older and I even thought she was a boy. But she turned out to be a girl and now she seems to be the age of a toddler who still needs to wear diapers." The daycare worker squeezes Laura's diaper and feels it squish.
"And speaking of diapers, this one clearly needs a new one. Anyway, thanks for dropping her off and let me know if you find out anything about it.
"Will do." The officer leaves. The daycare worker takes Laura to the changing tables. Just as she is lying on her back, Laura feels pressure on her bowels. She quickly spits out the pacifier to speak.
"Poopoo," she says. The daycare worker raises an eyebrow at her.
In that instantt, Laura begins to push, grunting as she does.
As Laura pushes, she feels something enter her diaper. Her jaw drops. She’s messing herself.
But she can’t stop once she’s started, so she continues, trying to get the humiliation over with. Her face turns red and scrunched with effort, her grunts get louder. Finally, she finishes with a small sigh.
"I poopoo," Laura mumbles.
"I can tell. Well, let's go get you changed! "
The daycare worker quickly and efficiently changed her diaper, then, he removed all the clothes she was wearing and dressed her in a pink onesie and inserted her pacifier again into her mouth. Finally, the daycare worker led Laura to a small group of young children, all with visible diaper bulges.
"Go play with the others, okay?" says the daycare worker. Laura doesn't like the idea of getting together with real toddlers but knowing that she can't do anything at the moment she approaches them and sits next to a little girl, who seemed to be the same age as Laura, wearing a green onesie and was also sucking on a pacifier. The girl looked at Laura carefully. Laura looks at her back.
After a moment, the toddler reaches into a pocket in front of her onesie, pulls out something, and extends it for Laura to see. Her eyes widen. It is a pair of dice, identical to the ones that put her in this situation.
"Did the dice shrink you too?" she whispers to the toddler. The little girl nods. "What is your name?"
"Rachel." The girl huffs. "I tried to get on the train to go to the magic store, but the worker called the police. And now I'm stuck here." Laura swallows nervously. If she gets trapped there and doesn't get her dice back, who knows what might happen?
“We can come up with a plan to escape,” Laura calmly tells Rachel. Rachel nods eagerly.
