"Mom…?" Alex, whispered, tears coming down his face.
"Yes, Alex, it's me," the creature said while caressing Alex's hand.
'Alex, Wake up,' the system's voice tried to reach Alex, but couldn't.
"But why are you here… and… why do you look like this?" Alex asked.
"What do you mean, Alex? What's wrong with how I look?" the creature said, continuously looking into Alex's eyes.
Alex was mesmerized by the eyes. He wanted to stare into them forever.
"Sorry… Mom? I didn't mean it that way; you look beautiful," Alex said, changing his tone, embarrassed by what he had said earlier.
"That's okay, my dear, so tell me, where is 'it'?" the creature asked playfully, still staring into her beautiful eyes.
'ALEX WAKE UP'
"Hehe, Mom, what do you mean? Where is what," Alex said, but his face was slightly contorted.
He was starting to feel awkward, but he wasn't sure why.
