While you're surprised by your daughter's insightfulness, you understand her reaction. And seeing the worry on your family's faces, you smile.

“Everything's okay, it's fine.” you say aloud, then telepathically reach out to Caulifla and Meloka. “While Freeza and I were in there, I.. Broke through reality. Punched a hole straight through what was, and peered... Beyond.”
“Beyond?” your wife replies, also telepathically. But Caulifla's eyes widen in shock.
“Yeah. And there's... SOMETHING out there. Beyond everything, that seeks to devour all of reality. That's the thing Chronoa kept erasing realities for, destroying it all rather than letting that thing consume it.” you tell them with a thought, sharing images mentally of what happened. How Chronoa'd appeared, mending the tear in reality before Mechikabura appeared. And the agreement they'd reached, to face the monster seeking to devour all

“Hold on. Does that mean we won't have to deal with those Zamasu anymore?” your wife suddenly replies as Caulifla continues to look shocked.
“At best I think she'll stop supporting them against us, but I doubt they'll just be removed from our timeline.” you reply with a thought, then turn to Caulifla as you think more to her. “Everything okay kiddo?”
“I... I've had dreams. Of a hunger that seeks to devour all.” she replies, your daughter suddenly hugging herself. “But to think those dreams were real...”

“Hey, you guys are talking without us!” Kayle suddenly exclaims, you all looking down to her. “What is it?”
“Don't worry, just adult things.” Meloka says, reaching down and ruffling both the prepubescent teens' hair. “Things you all don't need to worry about.”
“Is it something with Mechikabura again?” Maz asks, surprisingly insightful. To which you chuckle, nodding to him. “HA! I knew it!”

“Yes, it's all stuff of a different place and time, something you don't have to worry about.” you tell them both. “For now, we should have... Nineteen hours left, before the Tournament of Power kicks off.”
“Nineteen hours? Wow, it's still so far away!” Maz exclaims. “What are we gonna do for Nineteen hours?”

Which is a good question.
