It had always been easy for Mirage to put up appearances, but even he could be taken aback by the sudden change of surroundings. He watched, eyes wide, as the scene unfolded before him. He hadn't encountered such a place in the sphere before. An illusion, perhaps? He experimented by stepping before the running woman, and when she passed through him completely, without as much as a stumble, he concluded that his theory was highly probable.

Given the circumstances, observing was the most favorable option. He watched as the female human barricaded the doors and helped the man escape, the man who was different, according to the female. The question of how different this white-haired male was followed instantly, but the scene gave out no explanation. He frowned. A nuisance.

But the image (feed? projection? illusion?) before him merely concluded what he had always believed. He watched with the slightest amusement as the commotion played out before him. Humans are a conflict among themselves, and they will always be.

Unless a wave of change begins.

And suddenly the scene is gone, and he's back to his usual surroundings, and he's slightly disoriented but he shakes-forces-it away; best not to let down his guard. And when he turned to the sound beside him and saw Tatsu in a rather troubled state, the familiar smirk on his lips returned.

"He was you, you say?"
