You walk over to the bathroom and try calling out to Camelia, but there is no answer.
"She is gone, for now." Kiki say, returning the broom to the door, upside down. You and Tamako sit down on the bed. The fairy prefers to stand. "I'll stay a little bit longer to see if she comes back, but then I must go."
You apologize for not being at the apartment, and tell the kikimora the whole story on how you ende up in your current situation.
"I see. Yes. I was also taken in. They asked me some questions. They let me go. You invited me in." Kiki says, pointing to the broom again. "And so I came. Pesky ghost appeared, then you. You know from there."
You thank her, and say you'll get her a whole jug of milk for that Having now explained the last few days to her, you ask if she knows anything about anomalies.
"I have not heard of such things, but perhaps these scientists know what they mean? I was attracted to your place out of anywhere else I could have gone, and I am not the only one." she says, patting Tamako on the head. "Most humans go their whole lives without knowingly interacting with me or my fae-kin."
"Anyway, I must go. I'll come back every once and a while. Make sure to leave me some milk."
You chuckle and nod, then ask if the notepad was good for communication, and she agreed to use it when necessary. She gives you a nod, and Tamako a hug before bidding you a farewell. She then seems to just disappear into thin air. no sparks or smoke or anything.
Luckily, the rest of the night is more uneventful, and soon your (or more precisely Tamako's) bedtime approaches. After getting ready for bed you write yourself a little note to get Kiki some milk from the Commissary, and then turn in for the night.

You are in a completely dark place. It's nothing but darkness everywhere. You aren't even sure what you are standing on. Despite this, your body glows with a soft white light. Were it not for that, you wouldn't even be sure you had your eyes open.
"Is... Is this any better?" A nervous female voice says. You aren't sure where it came from, but then you have to squint as a flash of light reveals the obscured form of the ghostly Camelia a few meters away, now complete with skin. "It's not living flesh yet, but hopefully it... Hopefully I look okay for now?"
You say she looks quite lovely. You formally introduce yourself, though you aren't sure how much she absorbed because she started giggling uncontrollably at your compliment.
"Hehe... Nice to meet you. Heheh... You're c-cute too." She says, and despite the faded ghostly colors of her body you can still tell she goes full red faced. The giggling starts anew.
