“Huh?” you wonder, turning and seeing your daughter staring wide-eyed at the crystal being. But her eyes aren't alight with wonder, you immediately recognizing the fear in her eyes.
“Wh-What did you do to Mom?” Meloka Wolbach asks you, trembling as her eyes well up with tears. “You're not going to turn me into crystals too, are you?”
“What? No no, kiddo, this isn't-” you say, turning to the avatar of your world. Only to recognize that, now that she said it, this body you constructed looks awfully close to your wife, from the proportions and even hair, the only thing you hadn't copied was her unique Crimson Demon clan birthmark. “Hold on, I can explain.”
“I am not your mother, nor do I seek to replace her.” the avatar says, using this new body to lower itself to a knee, holding a hand out. “Be not afraid. I am this very world, given form. Your father has given me a mouth to speak with, so I can talk not only with he, but you as well.”
“So you're... Not gonna replace my mom?” Meloka Wolbach asks, still a bit uncertain but sounding more hopeful. “Then what's your name?”
“My name?” it asks, sounding genuinely confused. “I am this world, I do not need a name.”
“Everyone needs a name, silly. Hey, Dad, what's the planet's name?” your daughter asks, turning her wide, expectant eyes on you. Only for you to remember that you never actually did finish the paperwork to have the planet officially named. Which is something you should be getting on top of, something else for you to do. “Oooooh, can I name her?”
“What is going on up here? Why are you out of bed young lady?” your wife's voice calls from the stairway, a moment later you see your wife rise up. Only to freeze upon seeing the avatar's crystal body, then turn her gaze onto you. Her expression unreadable, but you get the feeling she's going to judge your next words very carefully. So you take a deep breath, readying yourself to explain everything once more. “Chilli. What is this?”
