Dans fighting over Dan after a gig, he's looking in the mirror. He sees this unfamiliar man looking back at him, imitating every move he makes. Dan's scared, who is that looking at him? He starts punching the mirror. Kyle walks in the room, Dan turns to look at him.

"Oi, Kyle, come look at this fucker"

Kyle turns his attention to his best mate punching a fucking mirror.

"Dan, mate, that's your reflection" Kyle says, slightly defeated.

"M-my what?" Dan replies, he's stopped punching the man, he stands there confused.

"Your reflection"

"Mate what the fuck are you on about Kyle, do you want a smack? What's a reflection?!"

"DUDE, thE MAN IN  THE PIECE OF SHINY METAL AND GLASS IS YOU. DAN, YOU'RE LOOKING AT DAN." Kyle is running out of things to say, his own father is going crazy.

“WHAT THE FUCK IS HE WEARING DOES THIS MAN NOT KNOW HOW TO COLOUR COORDINATE”

“WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS JUST STOP PUNCHING THE MIRROR”

Dan's stood infront of the smashed up mirror with tears streaming down his face, Kyle opens his arms to let Dan in.

"It's okay Dan, come here"

"Is my fashion sense really that bad Kyle?"

"Yeah but we can sort that out, I'll take you shopping tomorrow. We can buy some matching clothes."

Dan looks up to Kyle, his little freckled face lights up.

“Can we go to Bodega?”

Kyle sighs and rolls his eyes.

"Fuck off Dan"

Dan starts crying again. They both sit down on the nearby sofa. Kyle sits down and Dan curls into his lap.  He starts patting Dan's head to comfort him.

Then there's a huge bang downstairs, Dan suddenly remembers he was getting angry because he was hungry and the eggs he had forgotten about were boiling. The water had evaporated and the heat got too much. Egg is all over the kitchen when the two of them get downstairs. Kyle looks over to Dan with a disappointing look, he tuts.

"Come on Daniel, let's get this cleaned up"
