Nickname: Dakimakura Pillow Machine

Classification: Cuddle Item

Rating: Pillows: B, Machine: D

Visual Description

The Dakimakura Machine, classified as PMA-2025-17-A, is a pink mist infused classic pillow manufacturing machine. Originally designed for standard pillow production, it has undergone significant alterations by its mutation, now only producing a single kind of product. The machine stands at approximately 4 meters in height and 3 meters in length, with a robust metallic frame that supports its various components.

The machine features a connected storage system for input materials, which includes a large hopper for raw fabric and stuffing materials. This storage system is equipped with automated feeders that ensure a steady supply of materials to the production line. The conveyor belt, which extends out from the machine, is designed to transport the finished products away from the production area efficiently.

The overall aesthetic of the machine is industrial, with a blend of modern and vintage design elements. The control panel is situated on the side, yet the buttons have merged and differ from a classic pillow machine. There are only a start and stop button now.

The machine's exterior is predominantly silver, with accents of black and white, giving it a clean and functional appearance.

The pillows produced by the Dakimakura Machine are classified as PMA-2025-17-B. Each pillow is approximately 2 meters in length, conforming to the standard size of dakimakura pillows. The pillows are uniformly white, with a pristine and flawless surface that exhibits no visible seams or imperfections.

The fabric used in the construction of these pillows is notably soft and durable, providing a comfortable and luxurious feel. The stuffing is evenly distributed, ensuring consistent support and shape retention. Despite their length, the pillows are lightweight and easy to handle, making them suitable for various uses beyond their original intent as body pillows.

Once filled, the person that is printed on the pillow is of high quality, more resembling a high definition picture with visible black outlines. 

Effect Description

PMA-2025-17-A

The machine has two modes: active and inactive. When active, it will produce one PMA-2025-17-B pillow per minute in a constant, never-ending stream. Long term observation 

of a full day in active state saw no changes in production rate. The machine does not require electricity or input materials.

When the feeder is opened, it triggers a strong sucking force, pulling whoever opened the feeder into the machine. A person who is pulled into the machine is transformed into a PMA-2025-17-B pillow. These pillows have far longer trapping durations than normal PMA-2025-17-B pillows, often trapping their victim for over a year. The shortest observed trapping of this kind, a pillow that was near hugged and cuddled every night by the trapped individual’s lover, released its victim after 11 months. The longest observed one is still counting, already reaching 17 months.

Victims who were sucked into the feeder have a strong desire to be absorbed into a pillow again. The desire is far surpassing that of normal PMA-2025-17-B victims.

PMA-2025-17-B

The pillows have three different modes: Active, Dormant, and Filled. 

In their Active state, the pillows appear pristine and white, devoid of any visible features or depictions. Any direct skin contact with a pillow in this state triggers the absorption of the person, pulling them inside the pillow. It does not matter how much skin contact was made. Test persons describe the feeling of being sucked inside like a blissful warmth laying on themselves as they slide into the pillow before everything turns into a musky, blurry dream of comfort. As soon as a person is sucked into the pillow and fully absorbed, the pillow changes its state to Filled. As soon as the pillow is filled, it can be touched without being absorbed.

A filled pillow has a high-quality, full-body image of the trapped person printed on the surface, reaching for the full length no matter how big the person trapped is. The picture is in an anime style, with strong black outlines. The person is not shown like they are, but the picture is showing a cuter, more beautiful, and adorable version of that person, often including typical anime cliches like cat ears, a single standing-out tooth, or adorable anime poses.

The PMA can tell that the species of the individual does not matter. Observations and tests show that humans, balloon foxes, googirls, dragongirls, dryads, and elves were successfully absorbed into the PMA-2025-17-B pillows.

Trapped individuals describe the feeling of being trapped like floating in a gooey mass without gravity or a real feeling for direction. The state is similar to snoozing, switching between a semi-awake state and a dreaming one without any feel for time. It is a pleasant experience, a relaxing one that some describe as sleeping in the arms of a loved one. The dreams vary from person to person, yet all describe them positively.

If that pillow is hugged, especially for longer durations like a whole night, the positive feelings for the trapped one increases strongly. The person who hugs a filled pillow describes the effect as pleasant. Many fall asleep rather quickly due to the comforting feeling. The PMA believes that the pillows have a magical, hypnotic effect, even for those only cuddling them.

The duration of this absorbed state varies but is generally between a week and a month. Observations clearly show a connection between how much the pillow is hugged and the time the person spends inside. A pillow that is regularly hugged has a shorter imprisonment for the person than one that lays dormant. The experience for the trapped person is also a far more positive one if hugged regularly, so we suggest not letting a filled pillow just lie around.

After the time is up, the PMA-2025-17-B releases its victim again, transforming them back to how they were when they entered the pillow. The PMA-2025-17-B now enters its dormant state. During this, the pillow is dark grey and inactive. This state stays for one week before it automatically returns to the active state. Dormant PMA-2025-17-B should be handled carefully, as there is no indicator for when exactly it turns active again. The PMA has documented several incidents where people were absorbed by suddenly active PMA-2025-17-B pillows, some even during their sleep.

A person that was once trapped inside a PMA-2025-17-B describes a wish to return. The PMA notes that this feeling seems beyond the simple desire to feel the relaxing, cuddly sleep inside again but is instead an urge placed by the PMA-2025-17-B in former victims on release. Why or how this happens exactly is unknown.

Environmental Impacts

Animals can be trapped inside PMA-2025-17-B just like humans or other intelligent species. It is highly recommended to keep active pillows out of reach from pets. The PMA forbids tossing PMA-2025-17-B pillows into nature, as that can disturb wildlife.

Society Impacts

The primary concern lies in the pillows' ability to cause individuals to vanish for extended periods, ranging from a week to a month. Especially for accidental usage, this can be disturbing as the person may be seen as missing before discovered, worrying close people. Work, life, and other duties are also missed. The PMA suggests a safe storage of the pillows to ensure it is only used when wanted.

However, when viewed through a different lens, the experience of being trapped within a PMA-2025-17-B pillow can be seen as a unique form of vacation or retreat. Those who have undergone the experience describe it as profoundly relaxing and comforting, akin to a blissful escape from the stresses of daily life. In this context, the pillows could be perceived as a novel means of achieving mental and emotional rejuvenation, albeit with the caveat of temporary physical absence.

Yet, the potential for misuse cannot be overlooked. The portability of the pillows, which can be easily stored as luggage, raises concerns about their use in kidnapping or unlawful detention. The ease with which a person can be drawn into a pillow and subsequently transported underscores the need for stringent regulatory measures to prevent such abuses.

Containment Rating

The containment rating for the PMA-2025-17-B pillows is classified as B, indicating a moderate level of concern. While the pillows themselves are not inherently dangerous, their potential for misuse necessitates careful tracking and management. The primary risk lies in their ability to cause individuals to disappear for extended periods, which can lead to social disruptions such as kidnapping. Despite these concerns, the pillows' relaxing and comforting effects suggest that, when used responsibly, they pose minimal threat.

The exact number of PMA-2025-17-B pillows in circulation remains unknown. The PMA has over 1500 pillows in its possession, acquired through testing the PMA-2025-17-A machine and collecting pillows that were misused. However, it is estimated that the number of pillows circulating in society could easily exceed 10000, with only a fraction of these being known and tracked. This discrepancy highlights the need for enhanced monitoring and tracking efforts to mitigate potential risks.

In contrast, the Dakimakura Machine, PMA-2025-17-A, is classified with a containment rating of D, signifying a high level of concern. The machine's ability to produce pillows autonomously and indefinitely poses a significant risk of uncontrolled proliferation. To address this, the machine is stored under high security in a PMA facility, where it is used exclusively for testing purposes. Stringent security measures are in place to prevent unauthorized access and ensure that the machine's production capabilities are tightly controlled.

Pillows that are not required for testing anymore, are sold under strong checkups and observation of the buyer to people that have interest. The money is used for further research and the containment of the PMA-2025-17-A machine.

Discovery

The first documented appearances of the PMA-2025-17-B pillows date back to 2019, several years before the establishment of the PMA. The pillows initially circulated among student groups and young hunter friend circles, where they were embraced as a novel form of relaxation and escape. Friends enjoyed taking vacations inside the pillows, allowing their loved ones to cuddle them during the nights, enhancing the comforting experience for both parties. Some of these pillows remain in use to this day, highlighting their durability and the comfort they bring to their owners.

Following the founding of the PMA, efforts were made to trace the origins of the pillows. Interviews conducted with individuals familiar with the pillows shed light on their circulation but did not immediately reveal their source. It was not until 2026 that the PMA-2025-17-A Machine was discovered in an abandoned factory near Neueisen. The area was characterized by a strong contamination of pink mist, which explains why it was not discovered earlier by officials.

Given the delicate nature of the machine and the potential risks associated with its uncontrolled operation, the PMA decided to transport it intact to the nearest PMA facility. This operation was executed with the aid of a balloon fox, which encased the machine in a giant balloon, ensuring its safe and secure transportation.

The significant gap between the first appearances of the PMA-2025-17-B pillows and the eventual securing of the PMA-2025-17-A machine raises questions about the extent of their circulation. It is impossible to determine how many individuals discovered the machine before it was secured or how many pillows were produced during this period. Upon securing the site, over 200 pillows were found close to the machine, all of which were promptly secured by the PMA.

Noteworthy Incidents

Pillow Party Incident (August 2, 2023)

During a lively sleepover party, one of the guests brought several PMA-2025-17-B pillows, proposing their use in a unique pillow fight. Participants were advised to wear gloves to avoid direct skin contact. In the end, several individuals were inadvertently absorbed by the pillows. The incident gained a positive reputation within university circles, with many viewing it as an unconventional yet memorable experience. The “Absorbing Plush Pillow Fight” game gained popularity after some mobile phone videos began circulating online.

Tourist Trap Incident (January 11, 2025)

A cunning scammer targeted beautiful tourists visiting Slimea, luring them into hugging PMA-2025-17-B pillows without disclosing their absorbing effects. All the victims were young women who were subsequently trapped within the pillows. The scammer then sold these filled pillows to other tourists, predominantly men, who unknowingly transported them to various nations.

Following the release of the victims from the pillows, investigations led to the apprehension of the scammer. As a consequence, the perpetrator was fined, ordered to repay the scammed funds, and sentenced to three months of forced labor. This incident underscored the potential for misuse of the pillows and the importance of vigilance in preventing such exploitative schemes.

Janitor Feeder Incident (July 27, 2026)

While performing routine cleaning duties, a janitor inadvertently came into contact with the feeder of the PMA-2025-17-A machine. Upon opening the feeder, the janitor was swiftly pulled into the machine and transformed into a PMA-2025-17-B pillow. The entire incident was captured on camera, providing the PMA with valuable insights into the machine's capabilities and the transformation process. The janitor remained trapped within the pillow for the next 13 months before eventually being released, highlighting the extended duration of entrapment when individuals are absorbed directly by the machine.
