She turned her head, looking at her own body in confusion.
"What happened?"
I raised an eyebrow. She flew closer to my face, staring at her wings.
"Why am I smaller again?"
"You're back to your original size," I pointed out.
"That's exactly the problem!"
She spun around herself several times, examining every part of her body.
"This is not right!"
Her wings flapped angrily.
"I ate the whole world core!"
"You did." I nodded.
"Then why didn't I grow bigger?"
She hovered in front of me with a very offended expression.
"Did I eat bad food?"
I blinked.
"Bad… food?"
"Yes!"
She pointed one tiny wing downward.
"Was that core defective?"
I couldn't help laughing.
"A defective world core?"
"Yes!"
Her wings flared irritably.
"That has to be it."
She circled me rapidly.
"I swallowed the entire thing and this is all I get? I'm smaller than before!"
I folded my arms, still smiling.
"Maybe your growth doesn't work the way you think it does."
She froze mid-air.
