To find out how powerful he may have become, Ty decides upon a little experiment, an experiment which if successful will make sure he never sleeps alone again.
He closes his eyes and imagines Dustin walking into his room, in a daze, closing the door behind him and standing there waiting.
And it happens, just as he imagines.
With Dustin there, he silently says to him, "your name is Mei".
And Mei says, "My name is Mei."
Remembering a picture of Ziyi Zhang, he imagines Dustin, now Mei, as much like her. A thing atheletic short young Chinese girl with long brown hair, black eyes, light skin and a perfect, heavenly voice.
Only, Ty wants Mei to be 14. And that Mei is.
Ty imagines Mei's parents being he, Ty, is actually their son and Mei, their adopted daughter, a daughter whom they are perfectly aware of and completely okay with Ty sleeping with.
With this, Dustin's room disappears and is replaced with Mei's - and Mei, she's lying on Ty's bed already, legs spread - still in a trance.
Ty releases her.
She turns to Ty and asks him to join her, he strips and does.
