The world froze.
Time stuttered.
Jiwoon hovered midair, facing the version of himself that chose pure vengeance. The Mirror Jiwoon. A being born not from sin… but from how he responded to it.

A Fractured Soul
Voices surged in Jiwoon's mind.
His mother's final plea.
Vera's laughter.
Kaelya's quiet anger.
Kravein's loyalty.
And… the scream of every sinner he had judged.
"You are not one man anymore," the system whispered.
"You are the echo of every decision."
The Fight Halts
Just before the next clash, both Jiwoons stopped.
The Mirror looked at him with pity.
"You're hesitating. That's your weakness."
"No," Jiwoon said. "That's what makes me human."
Jiwoon Chooses
He raised both hands.
One black. One white.
Then — did the unthinkable.
He severed the thread.
[New Identity Fragment Created: "Debt Fragment – No Name"]
The Mirror is now its own being.
The Mirror gasped — and stumbled backward.
For the first time… confused.
"You… made me real?"
Jiwoon nodded.
"Now bear your own sins."
System Rewrites Reality
A pulse burst through the world.
The sky stitched itself back together.
Both Jiwoon and his former reflection fell to the earth — but in different directions.
[Split Complete]
[Balance Restored (Temporarily)]
Closing Scene: The Waking World
Jiwoon awoke in a temple garden.
His wounds healed. His memories intact.
But something felt off.
In the mirror's reflection… he no longer saw himself.
He saw someone else — watching.
Waiting.
