Miss Tomie.

Chie repeats her name over, over and over, staring at the ceiling of her bedroom and fingering over the paulownia box. The one cradling a wad of Tomie's long, black hair with a pearly sheen.

Miss Tomie, please.

The phantom gazes at her occasionally, expressionless, lonely. She can tell. Chie is also very lonely. She wants to hear Tomie's clear and sweet voice. This beautiful woman with her translucent skin, with that curtain of hair, and her dark and glittering and piercing eyes on Chie.

Speak to me. I want to hear you say my name.

Was she mad at Chie for how she behaved at first? Getting panicked and saying Tomie's hair was creepy? Chie apologized. She knew it was untrue. Tomie is not creepy — she's everything wonderful ever.

Oh, if she could hold Tomie, she would. She would brush Tomie's hair and massage her scalp and kiss her shoulders and her neck, mouthing over her cool, alabaster skin. Chie imagines it so vividly, pushing her right hand beneath the lip of her shorts and underwear, touching over herself.

Her fingertips graze over, accepting the sensation of bare, lotioned skin. She clenches, imagining Tomie's hands on her instead of her own, stroking her and holding gently onto Chie's breast, playing with her nipple with a smirk. Like Tomie smirks down on her now.

Would Tomie be as soft inside? Deliciously warm and intoxicating…?

Tomie may not exist to anyone other than her father and Miki, but she feels as real as the hurried pleasure coursing through her, growing in a steady, low pulses within Chie. She believes in Tomie.

A scent like lavender and honeysuckle fills Chie's nostrils.

"Teehee," Chie breathes out, grinning up at the nothingness of her bedroom.
