Summary: Mika dreams, and meets himself.

Mika is always dreaming: dreams have always been his stock-in-trade, but this dream is different-

(he dreams of walking through gardens, flowers beneath glass, empty corridors with every step reflected back. he wanders those hallways all alone, pathways a maze leading towards the center.

what he finds there is different and yet the same: a mirror of ice or the serene glass of a still pond. his reflection dressed in stark white, the dress his sister had been laid out in as her shroud and barefoot, with a doll’s empty eyes and a doll’s blank, sweet smile. As he watches, his other self stares back with that blank gaze and smile, lips moving as if to say something-)


a warning, but one he cannot hold onto-

(but the words are veiled by silence. He cannot hear. he reaches for the other him, who reaches back: their fingers touch with the barest brush for only a moment in the glass, the water, the ice. the mirror’s surface ripples with echoes, before he wakes, trembling.)
