Jaylin scooted closer and laid a cautious hand on Dharin’s arm. “Your mind is… it’s fine. This castle is weird, we all know that. I think… I think the mirrors take… memories or something, and they feed off of pain and anger and hate. Then, fueled by that hate and pain, they show you things.”

Dharin’s brow furrowed. “That makes sense. So what happens if someone has no hate or pain? Or if they looked into the mirror when they’re happy, not scared and hurt and sad?”
