Today, he turned ten.

But he seemed unhappy.

And I felt merry as how it's supposed to be.

Irony is, I don't desire to be happy.

Not when he was getting beaten ruthlessly by his father on his own birthday.

But I couldn't do anything. 

It wasn't in the rules of Mirrorlands to let your host know your existence, let alone go out of the world.

After all, we are here because of my past sins.

I saw Yoongi, another mirrorman for a host named Jeon Jungkook, be so happy today. And he enjoyed feeling cheerful too as Jungkook cried since his father was going on a business trip for a week. But I couldn't be happy even though I didn't endure any physical labor or pain. For the first time, as a mirrorman, I wished I could feel the same as my host.

But it was impossible. I knew it deep down.

You and I are worlds apart.
