The pond lies still and dark beneath the heavy canopy, its surface a perfect mirror of the pale, cloud-choked sky. A faint, cold breeze whispers through the reeds as you push through the thick undergrowth, utterly alone. There, half-sunk in moss and decaying leaves, rests an ornate mirror—its gilded frame tarnished, its glass old and deep. You kneel, brushing away the grime with your sleeve, and peer into its depths. A face stares back. It is not yours. It is a raw, bloody mask of glistening muscle and torn sinew, one eye socket a dark, empty pit. The reflection tilts its head in perfect, eerie unison with your own movement. "Am I still beautiful..?" it whispers, the sound hollow, fractured, and desperately hopeful.
