"A Pillow."

"Kirsty, what is it?"

"A takamakura. That Japanese woman who solved the box yesterday, had it. Now Hatsumomo isn't ever going to need it, after all."

"What is it?"

"Geishas sleep on it on their necks. Then hair doesn't touch anything. The hairstyle doesn't get spoiled."

"Why did you take it?"

"My present for Pinhead."

"He has no hair to spoil."

"True but he has pins. Have you ever tried to sleep on a pillow with pins covering your whole head, Angelique? Not just uncomfortable but damaging all pillows. We just had to throw out the fifth one this month."


I finally managed to write a regular, one 100 words drabble – though I'm not glad of it. I hated Hatsumomo :) She deserved getting the box and solving it :)
