It's kind of hard to tell if she's actually transforming girls into dolls, or if she's just making ordinary dolls based on girls she's been friends with, and then imagining them moving around and talking. She implies having bought them when talking about them in the first and last scenes, and that seems like a lie, but even then we don't actually know for sure. Maybe she does just buy dolls normally and then modifies them to look like people.
I feel like you kind of have to assume that the story is supposed to be creepy in order for the story to be creepy? I went in knowing that human doll transformation is a horror trope/fetish, so when I saw creepy doll shit and the girl being like "Do you want to play forever?" I just went "Oh, okay, it's one of those", but when I re-read it to try and get a better handle on what actually happened, I ended up more confused than I was the first time. Is there anything in the story itself that even suggests anything supernatural is going on? She has a creepy grin in one frame, but I think that's about it?
