*Death's voice was shaky.*
"Well he's...real, I guess. But he's not completely in the tangible world. Not yet anyways."

"What does that even mean?" *Erik said.* "'Not in the tangible world'?"
*He sat up, feeling much lighter than before, and looked down at the new man's serene face. It couldn't possibly be related to him. It was... pretty.*

*Death shrugged.*
"Well...you know how you can see the ethereal world right now, because of that chain? Well...I see it all the time. Overlapping the tangible. And your...man, he's in one, but not the other."

"Oh."
*Erik blinked. That made a kind of sense.*
"So... he's not real? In the way Erik is?"

*Death sighed.*
"Well...he's real, just not..."
*He searched for the word.*
"...completely birthed? He'll have to be pulled the rest of the way over."

*The man took Erik's hand, but didn't open his eyes.*
Don't you want me? Don't you love me? I was created out of love, after all...

"Pulled..." *Erik echoed again. He was beginning to think he might be a parrot.
A parrot who was about to give birth to a full-grown man-child who spoke in his mind.*
"Will it hurt?"
*He looked down again at the still figure.*
"Love?" *he scoffed.* "How should Erik know? Your... other... father is..." *He trailed off, not sure what he wanted to say.* "I am not entirely sure what to feel."

*Death shrugged and watched as Erik spoke to the quiet figure on the bed. He slowly approached their side, his hands out as to make no sudden movements.*
"I don't know...but I think this will help..."
*He moved to unclasp the chain from around Erik's neck.*
"If you'll let me."

You'll find it in time, Mother.
*The man opened his eyes as Death approached, but his only looked up to Erik. An eerie smile curled in the corner of his mouth.*
Don't be afraid...I'll be with you soon. On the other side.

*The man's smile made him uncomfortable. But what choice did he have? Now that he knew he was... in there... there was nothing for it but to get him out. He nodded at Death.*
"Whatever you need to do," *he said, as the real world solidified around him...*

*Death removed the chain and moved towards the man who stayed very still. He fastened the chain around his slimy neck and winced, waiting for the worst. But it didn't come. Then he was just there. In the non-astral world, laying on Christine's bed all the more solid and a little less slimy. And still very naked. Death wasn't sure what to think.*
"Umm...maybe that's it then...just don't take off the chain, all right?"

*The man turned his unsettling smile on Death and nodded.*
"Very well."
*His voice was low and raspy. Seemingly a bit stronger, he pushed himself up and off the bed, walking carefully around the room and examining everything. He stared at his hand, holding it to the light of the lamp.*
"Extraordinary."
Look what you've done, Mother. Look at what you've created. I am your most magnificent masterpiece. Your magnus opus.
*He glanced back to the bed, giving Erik a creepy smile and nod of his head.*
