okay but like.

how are the mannequins in Wonderland even mildly sentient?  bc they clearly are a little bit, outside of “controlled by edward and lydia”.  so how are they?

unless they’re maybe a little soul-having.

unless maybe when you come to wonderland, and can’t escape, you keep getting whittled down and down until there’s just a bit of your soul left, and then edward and lydia use that to whittle down others.

so basically my theory is that edward and lydia used the animus bell to trap the souls of the people they’d all but destroyed in their mannequins and used them to trap and destroy even more people. :’D
