The Mirror Dimension was a kaleidoscope of infinite versions of the same soul. Mirror existed as a single point of awareness drifting through a sea of silvered glass. Everywhere he looked, he saw himself—perfect, smiling, successful, beloved. There were versions of him that were kings, versions that were saints, and versions that had conquered the stars.

For an eternity, Mirror had been enamored with his own reflections. He believed that by jumping from one mirror to another, he could eventually find the "True Original"—the version of himself that was the source of all others. He spent eons analyzing the subtle differences in the reflections, searching for the one flaw that would signal the truth.

Finally, he found it. A mirror that was not a reflection, but a window. It looked out onto a world of grey ash and silence, a place where a single, broken figure sat amidst the ruins of a city. The figure was not perfect. He was scarred, limping, and weeping. He was the Original.

With a surge of desperate longing, Mirror shattered the window and stepped through.

The moment he touched the grey earth, the Mirror Dimension reacted. The transition was not a bridge, but a breach. The "perfection" of the reflections began to leak into the real world, and the "truth" of the ruins began to infect the mirrors.

Mirror looked at his hands and saw them flickering. One moment they were the hands of a king, the next the hands of a corpse. He tried to hold onto the Original, but the man dissolved into a cloud of silver shards.

The collapse was exponential. The infinite mirrors of the dimension began to shatter one by one, each break sending a shockwave through the multiverse. The versions of himself—the saints, the kings, the heroes—were all being pulled into the void of the ruins.

Mirror tried to scream, but his voice was a chorus of a billion different tones, all canceling each other out. He watched as the horizon of the real world was consumed by a wall of silver glass, which then shattered into a trillion pieces of nothingness.

In the end, there was no Mirror, no Original, and no Dimension. There was only a single, infinitesimal point of awareness floating in an absolute vacuum.

He realized, in the final micro-second of his existence, that the "Original" had not been a person, but a void. The reflections had been a desperate attempt by the universe to fill a hole that could never be filled. The perfection was the lie; the ruin was the only truth.

And then, the last mirror broke.
