[INT. MIRRORED REALITY – DIMENSION OF REGRET]

(Kevin stands in a broken alley, staring at a reflection of himself as a monstrous, unrecognizable being. His Antitrix glows erratically.)

Dark Kevin (reflection):
“You think you're in control? You’re nothing but a parasite feeding off others’ strength. You always were.”

Kevin (growling):
“I’ve changed. I have people who believe in me now.”

Dark Kevin:
“They fear you. Just like Gwen did when you almost lost it back there.”

Kevin (angrily):
“Shut up!”

[INT. MIRRORED REALITY – DIMENSION OF FAILURE]

(Ben walks through a destroyed Bellwood, littered with alien wreckage. He sees Billy Billions crying on the ground, a younger Ben towering over him in rage.)

Younger Ben (reflection):
“You call this being a hero? Punching a kid half your size?”

Ben (stunned):
“I... I was just protecting Kevin.”

Younger Ben:
“You were angry. And you liked it.”

Ben:
“No... That’s not who I am anymore.”

[INT. MIRRORED REALITY – DIMENSION OF POWER]

(Gwen stands atop a crystal throne, civilians bowing below her. Her face is cold, her eyes glowing violet.)

Dark Gwen (reflection):
“You could have ruled. All it would’ve taken was letting go.”

Gwen (firmly):
“I’d rather be powerless than become a tyrant like you.”

Dark Gwen:
“We are the same, Gwen. You suppress the truth, but it lives in your magic.”

[INT. MIRRORED REALITY – DIMENSION OF LOSS]

(Charmcaster walks through a crumbling version of her home. She sees Hex walking away, again, leaving her behind.)

Charmcaster (voice cracking):
“Wait… don’t go… please.”

Hex (reflection):
“You were never strong enough, Hope. Why do you think I left you behind?”

Charmcaster (tears falling):
“I was a child... I trusted you!”

---

[INT. MIRRORED REALITY – CROSSOVER POINT]

(Ryutora’s essence suddenly glows, and the scenes begin to collapse together into a shared nexus.)

Ryutora (echoing):
"You are not alone. Your bonds are your strength. Remember who you are."

[INT. MIRROR NEXUS]

Ben (looking to Kevin):
“We break out together. No more illusions.”

Kevin (panting):
“I’m losing control, Ben… the Antitrix—it's screaming in my head.”

Charmcaster (firmly):
“Then let us be your anchor. We’ve all been broken before. But we didn’t stay that way.”

Gwen (summoning energy):
“Let’s crack this mirror.”

[EXT. REALITY – BACK TO THE MALL]

(The mirror explodes as the team bursts free, facing the Mirror Wraith in its true form — a ghostly entity with dozens of reflective masks floating around it.)
