Hmm! Well, Garry is pretty naive and optimistic too, but he saw the things how they actually were when he first encountered them in game, while the protagonist (a young girl) saw them as bunnies but then saw them as themselves only much later.

So it depends? You could go the "bunny-then-creepy doll" route, but its really up to you! You could go either way.

canon why are you so confusing sometimes
