[As you step through Castling's mirror, you end up in a large, bright and blinding white space. It's so bright that it's difficult to see anything the first few moments. Your eyes will probably hurt a lot.]

[shakes his head frantically]

I cannot allow anything to get closer to— no!

Re: MIRROR

[thexfactor]

[ firmly ]

You can't run from your past.

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

I am not running. You cannot be in here!

Re: MIRROR

[thexfactor]

[ pause ]

Why not?

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

You are intruders, just like that. It destroys things. I cannot trust you.

Re: MIRROR

[thexfactor]

[ hmm. He projects his thoughts at Castling ]

Would an intruder have my powers? I don't think so.

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

[he recoils backwards at that, instantly frowning, but he's backing down on his defensiveness a little]

... How did you get in here?

Re: MIRROR

[thexfactor]

We were brought here by an Echo's power to help you, Castling.

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

[quickly glances down at the shards in his hands, and the back up at you]

How is that possible? This place is—

Re: MIRROR

[thexfactor]

We know. But it is the truth.

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

[... warily, he steps down from the mirror, giving you space to walk up to it if you wish]

Re: MIRROR

[thexfactor]

[ time to slot those shards in ]

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

[when you do that, some of the shards melt together into whole pieces again, and Castling stares a little]

Ah...

Re: MIRROR

[thexfactor]

How do you feel?

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

[takes a deep breath and nods]

It is healed, a little bit.

Re: MIRROR

[thexfactor]

That's good. So we need the rest?

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

Yes... and find the intruder.

Re: MIRROR

[thexfactor]

. . . Do you know who or what it is?

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

I do not know who it is, but it can take on disguises.

Re: MIRROR

[thexfactor]

My powers will help with that.

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

Aah... [just. nods]

I cannot leave this place. I must stay by the mirror. Him... too.

[glances at the second Castling that is still staring at the broken shards in his hands]

Re: MIRROR

[thexfactor]

What's . . . wrong with him?

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

He doesn't remember nearly anything. I do not remember a lot of things either. A lot of the shards are still broken. I have enough to... recognize you. If I had not, I would have attacked you.

[he glances at Rook at that, expression a little pained]

Re: MIRROR

[thexfactor]

We'll get the rest.

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

Thank you.

It will be difficult.
