X :: Way More...

"Follow me!",she said as she ran to the corner of the room...
___________________________

"What's in there?",I asked as Archi opened a heavy wooden door, lying parallel to the room's horizon.
"A slide..",said Archi, sitting down.
"Slide?",asked Namjoon.
"Mhm. Sit down.",said Archi.

We bent down behind her and sat according to our heights--Archi at 5'8°½, Followed by me at 5'10°½ and then Namjoon at 5'11°½.

"The door?",asked Namjoon, the one sitting nearest to the door.
"Just slide down. I'll close it.",she replied.
"How?",we asked.

With no other words said, she pulled my feet and slided down. Me being the scared one, pulled Namjoon. Funny was how we, the older ones, were screaming in fear and the youngest one was enjoying the ride.

We reached the end of the long slide as Archi bounced on the sponge, landing straight on her feet, while we crashed on our delicate butts.

"Ouch!",I whined, rubbing my skin.
"Sorry..",giigled Archi.
"What place is this?",asked Namjoon, straightening up and also helping me get up.
"Look yourself..",said Archi.

We looked around to see a huge room, as if two of our practice rooms were conjoined.

"What place is this?",I asked for a second time.
"I consider it a hideout. It's an illusion.",said Archi.
"Illusion?",questioned Namjoon.
"Mhm. Illusion.",she repeated, switching the lights off.

We looked around and noticed shiny surfaces all around the room. They looked like glass.

"What are those?",I gasped.
"Mirror. If you have no idea about this room, you can get lost. It's a 8000cm² area. But it looks like 24000cm² because of the photovoltaic conductors at every corner that gets reflected by the multiple reflection phenomenon."
"Okay, all of this went overhead.",I said, unable to understand a single word.

Archi looked at me with a sudden pause as if searching for words to utter. I glanced at Namjoon, whose face reflected the same baffled aura.

"Alright, so the room is 18000cm². It looks three times larger, that is 24000cm². The reason behind this the photovoltaic conductors. Photovoltaic means two things that produce energy which converts into heat and light, equal to the production of energy by the sun. Conductor is an object that helps the production.",said Archi, turning the lights on.

This time she was more eloquent for me to brain the several scientific words she was using.

"This leads to a higher production of energy while the lights are on, hence creating more efficient reflections. Multiple reflection is the phenomena of mirrors reflecting eachother. There can be countless numbers of virtual images formed based on the angle. Here it forms 56 reflections which is only visible to those standing opposite to the mirror.",said Archi with a heavy breath.

Okay, so in simple words,it's a maze of mirrors.

"And what's the need of this room?",asked Namjoon.
"No primary use expect for when you have to hide.",said Archi.
"But the door to the slide is already a secret passage. Just coming down would be enough, why'd you need a maze of mirrors?",I asked.
"Do you see any reflections of yourself?",she asked us.

We again started to look around but surprisingly, there weren't any reflections of us. It was just a vacant room.

"No...",I whispered.
"It's because we're on the opposite side of the mirror. There's another way to enter, and that is where the reflection takes place.",said Archi.
"What about sounds?",asked Namjoon.

Archi caged around her lips with her hands and shouted "Echo!".

The room got silent but five seconds later, the sound reverberated from the opposite side.
