Synopsis:
The Reflection examines its reflection.
Chapter 1: Cold
A winter's moon takes position on the far side of her wall and illuminates the shadowed room. In it, a girl stands before a plain sheet of glass. She stares intently. She asks it to show her something else. She wills it to show her something else.
It doesn't change.
Resigned, the girl shuts her eyes and enters the glass, returning to her liquid state of unretrieved memories.
...
Before she enters, the room is already cold.
A cold case, a cold room. Valkyrie couldn't think of anything more repulsive.
In her tired state, her mind abandoned protocol and she let herself slip into crinkled sheets and a pillow-less bed. She slept cold.
...
The Hidden Life in her room stayed dormant and unbothered by its owner's lack of care. Instead, it stayed put, and watched as its owner fell into an undisturbed sleep, not minding the crinkled sheets she was laying upon.
