The air is cold, dusty and dead, the sound of echos and older machine rung through the place, step after step was a hard metallic sound that shook the place the slightest bit and each time it did startled each step this person wearing a dark purple beanie and very black and white clothing took. The place felt cold as they walked, they can feel the metal they stepped on underneath as they walked, but they came here with a reason, as much as they didn't want to and wanted to step away from this place to not hear the spirits back then scream in agony, but they got to, it's the only way they can survive here. "Keep your cool Seltes... it's just a little... scary... building..." This person spoke to themselves trying to calm down as they walked on looking around from spot to spot searching for something. They were requested to come here to grab a few materials which are quite deep into here and scattered everywhere but he's sure he'd find them eventually in this old destroyed factory. He checked from spot to spot, finding only some small scraps but not to much of what he needs, while the air just kept on being cold and each sound a old machine would suddenly make kept startling Seltes each time he walked on, soon he stopped in front of a ruined mirror and looked on into it, perhaps to study his own reflection or something more.

As Seltes looked into a mirror he saw what not many of anyone else can see, seeing this blackened place with colored lines to shape what's there and saw one person sitting in the middle of this room he's looking into, seeing them appear to cry despite being in such a considerable peaceful room for how it looks. "Hey... It's okay... You don't have to cry..." Seltes spoke to the mirror as he watched seeing this person turn from within inside it and look then walked over able to see into the other side looking surely tired out for who knows how long they've been crying for. Seltes is used to seeing these, seeing spirits through these mirrors in spaces they go to once gone, and seeing them all react in different ways, this one is at least a kind of friendlier one. Seltes gently smiled at the person on the other side but still got him curious what their story was now. "What's got you upset?... Aren't you happy in the space you're in?..." Seltes asked the person he saw in the mirror who looked back still seeming so tired from all the crying. "I miss my partner so much... I miss my family, I... it's all my fault I'm here now...I wasn't... Careful..." The person responded, which Seltes studied and felt sad for this person, but he wanted to make them happy, maybe he can do something. "I could find them for you and tell you how they are now... I can even let them know about you..." Seltes reassured the best he could which the person looked to them appearing hopeful upon hearing that through the tiredness they had.

"You will?? Thank you, please they are all back in Pertopia... I remember that they had a business there. It's a small one that they named after my dad, the exspira shop... Please... tell them I love them so much..." The person talked which Seltes took note saying he will as he watched them go back into the room and sit there now, at least they feel some sense of peace again. Seltes watched as it went back to his reflection as he moved away from the mirror now, time to continue to search and can help with that after, that's if he'll have time of course but who knows maybe he will. As he walked on soon he heard a loud crash come from one the rooms startling him, making him look at it, that's not good, better not be a break in or some animal... Seltes slowly went to the door and creaked it open to see, nothing but littered scraps everywhere and darkness, nothing in the darkness too for what he could see, as he closed the door he then heard a voice behind him. "Whatcha doing here little guy?" Hearing that made Seltes jump back into a wall and quickly raised his hands summoning a light magic in one and dark magic in the other looking at who it was seeing just- some regular appearing harley davidson orangey red colored hedgehog person, though they didn't seem normal or like one exactly, something was off for a few things like how they were behaving and how calmed they appeared but maybe that's there imagination. "Who are you??.." Seltes asked which this hedgehog just was calm seeing Seltes reaction and even when being threatened with the power Seltes has in his hands right now. "I'm Squno" This hedgehog answered who was strangely so calm it was confusing Seltes making Seltes lower his hands a bit during this. "Why are you here?" Seltes asked quickly while Squno just wasn't fazed by any of Seltes' fear or how he didn't get rid of the power in his hands.
