Evelline gets scared and drops the mirror, it falls to the floor and splits in half. She looks at the broken object on the floor, and sees her own reflection, her pupils gleamed blue, and she didn't understand anything, tried to close her eyes and open, they were still blue, she tried to scratch her eyes, but nothing changed color.

She got scared, and she walked slowly backwards, away from the mirror, but she trips over a toolbox that was lying on the floor, she falls and cuts her left arm on a giant razor that was there, Evelline starts to scream , she screamed very loudly and moaned in pain, lying there on the floor without anyone being able to hear her.

She looked at her injured arm, and saw that the cut was bizarrely large and deep, coming from the top of her shoulder to near her middle finger, the young woman screamed a lot with unbearable pain, and she passed out lying in a pool of blood there in the middle of the pavilion.

Evelline enters a dream, she saw herself as a child, in her grandmother's house, sitting in her grandfather's chair, eating a bowl of jelly beans while watching TV, it was showing her favorite cartoon at the time. And her grandmother approaches, she was a tall lady, with slightly gray hair, and her eyes also glowed blue, just like Evelline's.

She approaches Evelline and says:

- Eve, how many times have I told you not to eat too much candy, and still sitting in your grandfather's chair?

She moves the bowl away and takes Evelline under her arms, lifting her up and placing her sitting in her mini crib, which was in the middle of the room. This cradle had a reddish painting, with pink flowers and drawings painted by a child on the edges, and Evelline thought:

"- What is this?"

Evelline was a very small child, she had short and very neat hair, she was wearing a diaper and sitting in that crib, apparently she must have been about 3 years old at the time.Her grandmother looked at her, as she leaned with her hands over the edges of the crib, her eyes were brown at that moment. She then ran her hand over Evelline's hair, and said:


- Stay here while grandma prepares dinner, okay?

And she leaves, and goes to the kitchen.

That seemed to be a kind of dream, but very real, it was like a kind of memory that she was remembering, Evelline tried to speak, but she couldn't, she could barely stand on that baby's body, even so she tried to act, she looked around and saw that she was in an apparently large house with white walls, that place was familiar, on the right side she had her grandfather's armchair and the television, where she was sitting, on the left side, there was a big wall with a closed door, behind her was a wooden horse and its toys, and in front of her was the kitchen, where her grandmother was on her back, preparing dinner.

- "I must have died, that's it. I'm reliving a good time in my life before I finally left." - she thought.

So, very carefully, Evelline tries to climb the cradle through the fabric railings that surrounded her, and she slowly climbs up, and when she reaches the top, her foot, which was now much smaller than what she was used to, ends up slipping while she balanced herself, and she fell, and cut off her left palm trying to hold on to the wooden edge of the crib, there was a broken part with a splinter right there.

She falls down sitting on the floor, and starts to cry loudly, with her hand bleeding, then her grandmother comes running to help her, and holds her under her arms again, and takes her onto the kitchen counter, and puts Evelline sitting there, the grandmother pulls out a drawer with a first aid kit, she opens it and takes out a band-aid with another medicine to close wounds and cottons too, she loved the way her grandmother treated wounds, that seemed to be magical.
