Elara's fingers brushed cold silver in the attic's gloom, dust motes swirling like fireflies in the flashlight beam. The mirror hung crooked, frame etched with thorns that seemed to writhe. She leaned closer, breath fogging the glass.

'Veil between worlds,' she whispered, half-joking to chase the loneliness. A hum vibrated through her bones. Colors bled across the surface: emerald skies over spired cities, rivers of liquid starlight.

Her reflection sharpened — no, shifted. The other Elara wore armor of woven vines, eyes fierce with secrets. 'Come through,' the reflection mouthed, voice silk on stone. Elara's heart hammered; the air thickened with ozone and wildflower scent.

She pressed her palm flat. Glass yielded like warm wax. Stepping forward, floorboards vanished underfoot. Cobblestones met her boots, slick with mist. Towering oaks loomed, leaves whispering in a language of wind-chimes. Distant laughter echoed — her own?

A figure emerged from fog: herself, but scarred by battles unseen, cloak billowing like storm clouds. 'You left me here,' the shadow-Elara said, voice cracking with old hurt. Elara recoiled, tasting salt on her lips — tears not her own. The air pulsed, libraries bleeding into forests, books sprouting roots.

'This isn't real,' Elara gasped, but the shadow gripped her wrist, skin electric. Mirrors cracked open in every tree, multiplying worlds: one aflame, one frozen, all calling. The attic door flickered yards away, handle turning by invisible hands.

Which way pulled harder — home's silence, or the chorus of what-ifs?
