Mirror, Mirror

[threenessofmind]

[Something's changed about one of the custodial closets in the Mall. Instead of holding cleaning supplies, the room contains a sprawling maze of mirrors. Upon closer inspection, it appears that the mirror reflects one's insecurities, true self, or perhaps a hidden negative quality.

...worst part is, everyone can see.]

[The reflection's robe is unzipped enough to expose a rather sufficient view of her cleavage. Upon her lips forms a sultry smirk.

Jezbel's influence aside, Amane can't deny that this side of her exists. She begins to feel overwhelmingly insufficient; she is a failure as a priestess of God, as a daughter, as a...

Her knees crumple, as she tries to suppress the choked sobs escaping her lips.]

[Chiaki notices her not long afterwards and sees the reflection Amane had cast into the mirror, and scowls. Things were not looking good...]

[Sighing, Chiaki helps her stand back up on her two feet.]

You can't allow something like this to get to you.

[She blinks, fully aware that the other girl is correct.]

I'm being... i-irrational.

[She's calming down slightly.]

[highonpower]

Good. I understand how disheartening these images can be...[Especially since her reflection had shown her demonic form, and the disgust on her face about that had not faded.] But the fact remains that's not what you are forced to become.

[It appears she has now begun to collect herself.]

...thank you. I was blinded in my own unsecurity.

[highonpower]

You wouldn't be the first, but at least you are smart enough to know not to become that way. [Unlike herself as she slowly realizes.]

I think we should try and leave this place. Nothing good will come from these mirrors anyway.
