As Gypsy slowly opened her eyes, she found herself in a room filled with mirrors. Confusion consumed her as she tried to remember how she had gotten here. The last thing she remembered was the painful reality of discovering her boyfriend's infidelity and saving the little girl. But now, this new reality seemed even more bizarre.
"Am I dreaming?" she whispered to herself. Her voice echoed through the mirror-lined room, but she received no response.
Suddenly, a door swung open, revealing a tall figure in a white lab coat. Dr. Reuben stepped into the room with an air of calm competence. His emerald green eyes met Emma's, a flicker of recognition passing between them
", Welcome to the Mirror Room," Dr. Reuben greeted her with a warm smile. "I am here to guide you through this journey."
"What?" Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Mirror Room? Journey? What is all this?"
Dr. Reuben pulled out a small device and tapped on it, summoning a holographic
"you have crossed over to the mirror world. You see, there are dimensions beyond our own, and this room allows people to communicate with those who have passed on."
Gypsy stared at the holographic projection, her heart pounding in her chest. She was dead? How could this be possible?
"And who is she?" Gypsy gestured towards the holographic projection, which now displayed a cold and stoic AI hovering beside Dr. Reuben.
The AI's robotic voice filled the room. "I am AI-117, an intelligence designed to maintain balance in the mirror world. I must warn you, Emma, my duties do not include empathy or compassion."
Gypsy eyes narrowed at the AI's tone. She could sense there was much more to this world than Dr. Reuben was currently revealing.
Dr. Reuben motioned towards one mirror in particular. "Come, . Let me show you how you arrived in the mirror world."
Reluctantly, Gypsy followed his lead, stepping closer to the mirror. As they peered into the reflective surface, her s eyes widened in shock. It was her, lying motionless on the cold ground. The scene played out before her, her lifeless body being discovered amidst an accident scene.
Tears welled up in gypsy eyes as the reality sank in. She had indeed died, and her spirit had found its way to this strange mirror world. Confusion mixed with sorrow as she tried to comprehend the truth.
Dr. Reuben put a comforting hand on her shoulder. " I know this is a lot to take in, but there is a purpose to your presence here. The mirror world holds its own secrets, and you have an opportunity to uncover them."
" you're right" she wiped away her tears and took a deep breath. Despite the heartache and confusion, a newfound determination grew within her. She would embrace this journey and seek answers to the mysteries that surrounded her.
"Alright, Dr. Reuben. I'm ready to learn more about this world and discover what it has in store for me," Emma said, her voice filled with newfound resolve.
Dr. Reuben nodded, grateful for Emma's willingness to embrace the unknown. "Very well, Emma. The mirror world awaits, and it is time to uncover its forbidden reflections."
