"One day, when a demon was in a merry mood, he made a looking-glass which had the power of making everything good or beautiful that was reflected in it almost shrink to nothing, while everything that was worthless and bad looked increased in size and worse than ever. The most lovely landscapes appeared like boiled spinach, and the people became hideous, and looked as if they stood on their heads and had no bodies. Their countenances were so distorted that no one could recognize them, and even one freckle on the face appeared to spread over the whole of the nose and mouth. The demon said this was very amusing. When a good or pious thought passed through the mind of any one it was misrepresented in the glass; and then how the demon laughed at his cunning invention. All who saw through the glass talked everywhere of the wonders they had seen, and declared that people could now, for the first time, see what the world and mankind were really like. They carried the glass about everywhere, till at last there was not a land nor a people who had not been looked at through this distorted mirror.

Upon arriving at the apartment, pottering around and leaving to go home and get clean and change into a baggy jumper and jeans and a second arrival to it -- Yoshiya lay in the manner of an adolescent cat in Sanae Hanekoma's apartment, arms stretched high into the air and small hands clasped either side of a large hardback full of all sorts of tales. The only light that flickered through the apartment was channel 9; the blatent disregard to electrity (as promised) rather apparent. He was listening though to what constituted as news filtered right through the system, all impurities and nasty things of course filtered right out of Luca Hyde and Viola Summers sweet yet forced tones-- though it was safe to say that he was far more engrossed in the book. The fascination with fairy tales really wasn't anything that could even be considered an interest. He just found them preferable to reality, because reality really was far too boring.

" They wanted even to fly with it up to heaven to see the angels, but the higher they flew the more slippery the glass became, and they could scarcely hold it, till at last it slipped from their hands, fell to the earth, and was broken into millions of pieces. But now the looking-glass caused more unhappiness than ever, for some of the fragments were not so large as a grain of sand, and they flew about the world into every country. When one of these tiny atoms flew into a person's eye, it stuck there unknown to him, and from that moment he saw everything through a distorted medium, or could see only the worst side of what he looked at, for even the smallest fragment retained the same power which had belonged to the whole mirror. Some few persons even got a fragment of the looking-glass in their hearts, and this was very terrible, for their hearts became cold like a lump of ice."

And he heard the door. His eyes flicked up and he folded the hardback closed and moved it over his torso, keeping his eyes on the exit to the room.
