Ethan's mind reeled as he stared at the distorted reflection in the mirror. He tried to process what was happening, but his thoughts were muddled.
"Why are you here?" he asked, trying to keep his voice steady.
"I am here to reveal the truth," Mirror-Ethan replied, its voice like a gentle breeze on a summer day. "But are you prepared to hear it?"
Ethan hesitated, unsure of what to expect. But something about Mirror-Ethan's words resonated with him. He felt a sense of curiosity, of longing to uncover the secrets that lay hidden.
"I'm ready," he said finally.
Mirror-Ethan's gaze seemed to bore into his soul. "Then let us begin," it said.
The mirror began to glow with an intense light, and Ethan felt himself being pulled into its depths. He saw visions of his past, of memories he had long forgotten. He saw moments of joy and sorrow, of triumph and failure.
But as the visions faded, Ethan realized that something was off. The memories were distorted, twisted and warped like the mirror's reflection.
"What's going on?" he demanded, feeling a growing sense of unease.
"Ah," Mirror-Ethan said, its voice dripping with malice. "You see, I have been waiting for you. Waiting for you to uncover the truth."
Ethan's eyes narrowed. "What truth?"
Mirror-Ethan's grin grew wider. "The truth about your own mind. The truth about your own desires and fears."
Ethan felt a chill run down his spine. "What do you mean?"
Mirror-Ethan's eyes seemed to bore into his soul once more. "You see, Ethan, your mind is not your own. It is a battleground, a war zone where your desires and fears clash."
Ethan felt a surge of adrenaline as he realized the truth. His mind was not his own – it was a reflection of his deepest desires and darkest fears.
