📓 Echoes Before It Happens: Zaiyen’s Diary
🗓️ Part 9: The Mirror That Lied
✍️ By Zaiyen
After the phone call, I became obsessed with the date —
**27th**.
But something else started to change.
It began with the **mirror in my room**.
I walked past it one night…
and noticed something was off.
My reflection didn’t match me.
---
Not in the usual way —
not the delay, or the tilt.
It was…
**wrong**.
My eyes blinked twice when I only blinked once.
My reflection smiled… when I didn’t.
And then it whispered:
> **“You missed your chance. Again.”**
I froze.
My heart pounded.
I turned around — nothing.
Turned back — it was normal again.
---
The next night, it happened again.
But this time… the reflection didn’t move at all.
Like a frozen version of me.
Just watching.
I covered the mirror with a cloth.
But something still felt like it was staring through.
---
On the night of the 27th,
I left the house, like the voice warned me to.
When I came back —
the mirror was cracked.
From the inside.
A single word etched at the corner:
> **“Liar.”**
---
Was it trying to warn me?
Or mock me?
Or show me the version of myself that already failed?
---
Since then, I don’t trust mirrors.
Because some reflections don’t just show you —
they **watch you**.
They wait for your mistakes.
And sometimes…
they already know how your story ends.
