Lauren stood before the grand mirror, her reflection gazing back at her with a perplexed expression. She furrowed her brows, scanning the room for any signs of intrusion, but she was alone with Lavender, save for the eerie sense that something was about to unfold.
Suddenly, as if from the depths of the glass itself, a figure materialised, causing her heart to skip a beat. It was Eris, unmistakably transformed. His appearance had shifted dramatically; his countenance was now rosy and fair, a stark contrast to his usual enigmatic self. His attire had shifted too, adorned in a cap and standing taller than before.
Lauren's confusion gave way to frustration, and her voice held a tone of reproach as she confronted him. "Eris, you promised to help me, to be someone I could trust. Why are you doing this?"
Eris met her gaze with an enigmatic smile, his eyes holding a glint of mischief. "Dear Lauren, I am helping you. By making things easier for you."
