Her psychology professor, Dr. Finch, introduces a project on trauma and memory, a subject that resonates uncomfortably with Amara. As she dives into the research, she realizes there may be more to her past encounters than she thought. She's drawn to topics on mirror magic, curses, and legends of doppelgängers—beings said to haunt those with unresolved memories.

Dr. Finch notices her interest and invites her to discuss her research. Amara carefully guards her story, yet Dr. Finch seems to sense her unease.

Dr. Finch (curious): "You seem like someone who's familiar with facing shadows. Sometimes, the most terrifying places we go are the ones inside us."

Amara (evasively): "I suppose I've... dealt with a lot. But those shadows are in the past."

Dr. Finch: "Memories have a way of finding us, even when we leave them behind. Don't ignore what may be trying to reach you, Amara."

Her words leave Amara unsettled, and as she leaves Dr. Finch's office, she catches a glimpse of herself in the polished glass on the door. Her reflection's gaze feels different—intense and calculating. Her pulse races. Is she just imagining things?
