[SHARDS OF YOURSELF] [What you see cannot be seen by myself.] [It's a blind spot in my vision.] [I want to understand, but you won't let me.] MEMY2E - the-revenant Creation is such an arduous necessity. And for what reward, a bunch of clueless individuals roaming my halls providing little to no material for myself to use? It's so... exhausting. I often question why I kept creating after my Dearest Owner went missing. It would have been much easier for me to just... no, that's stupid. What I'm saying aloud right now, to the chaotic visions that surround me, is stupid. I may not be living, but I still need to survive just for that off chance I'd be able to see them again. I've been able to scrap together a piece of a variant using the memories I could find from those three, but... they don't seem to be the most cheerful. At this point, it doesn't matter whether or not this is something they want to relive, even if it's just an abstraction of the idea. I'll finish this, and maybe once they get through, I'll have enough energy to work on that big variant I've always wanted to do. I just need them to... proceed to the Second Layer and, ugh, what are they doing now? Blue and green boy are sitting by the locked door, talking about someone named "Kim." That fraud is... ...it's just sitting in front of that mirror. It's staring into it, touching its own face with a hollow expression on its face. Normally, I wouldn't concern myself over it, but... Maybe I should poke around for anything nice to make.
I project myself into the room. Of course, they cannot see me. I am not there physically. That doesn't really explain why... it's looking straight at me. ...or, rather, the spot I would be standing in. Obviously it wouldn't know about me, that would be absurd, right? ...regardless, I need to poke around. What...? It turned to face me. I can't be here.
I put myself on the other side of the mirror. That fiend is standing where I would have been. It looks down at its hands, and turns back to proceed downstairs... presumably to catch up with the others. That was... strange, but... When was the last time I took a good look at myself? I put a mirror in The Heart. Not really for any practical use, just out of curiosity. There are barely any inside the building as-is, I can count appearances of it on one hand... do I have hands? I take a look in the mirror. Something looks back at me. I don't know what it is, I can't make out any shape or color or... Despite everything, it copies my moments as you would expect a reflection to. Is that me, then? What do I look like?
