I turned back—
My heart was pounding loudly.
It… was standing right in front of me.
It looked exactly like me.
But it wasn't me.
There was something terrifying in its eyes.
I took a step back.
"Who… are you?" I asked in a trembling voice.
It smiled.
A slow… unnatural smile.
"You already know me," it said.
My throat went dry.
"No… this isn't real…" I whispered.
It tilted its head slightly.
"Not real?" it repeated softly.
Then it took a step closer.
I stepped back again—
Until my back hit the wall.
I had nowhere to go.
"This is a dream…" I kept telling myself.
"Yes," it said.
My eyes widened.
"I'm inside your dream."
For a moment… I felt relieved.
"It's just a dream…" I muttered.
But then—
It leaned closer to my face.
Its voice dropped into a whisper.
"Then why can you feel this?"
It suddenly grabbed my hand.
Cold.
Freezing cold.
I gasped.
Dreams don't feel like this.
I tried to pull away—
But its grip tightened.
"You tried to ignore me," it said.
"I was always there…"
My mind started racing.
"What do you want from me?"
It stared straight into my eyes.
"To switch."
My breath stopped.
"W-what?"
It smiled again.
"I'm tired of staying in the mirror."
A chill ran down my spine.
"And now…"
"It's your turn."
Before I could react—
It pulled me forward.
Straight toward the mirror.
"No!" I screamed.
The glass touched my back—
But instead of breaking…
I started sinking into it.
Like water.
Cold… dark… endless.
I struggled, screamed—
But my voice disappeared.
And then—
Everything went black.
