Smoky Mirrors Meaning

I thought being laid off from my job was the greatest of my worries but I just had to wake up in a ship's cockpit after my space game crashed. Now I have no map, no friends and no money. But that's ok, I've started from the bottom before! With my starter ship I will scour through space as a Mercenary and maybe even start up a Mercenary Company while I'm at it! This ain't my first rodeo in space after all! Except... Apparently my crew members are weird? The guy who bumped into me yesterday was found sliced up and floating outside the space station. The girl who tried to honeytrap me was reported missing with only a finger found in an alley. And then that merchant who scammed me had his entire ship blasted into bits by unknown vessels the very next day. Some people say my crewmates were behind it but they must be mistaken, right? I only know one thing for sure... In space, no one can hear you scream... *** Notes: Any R-rated scenes will be denoted by a '*' followed by an 'R' with the number of 'R's showing how much of it is R-rated.

The concept of essence grapples with the notion of particularity. When we focus on an individual, we are pointing out the idiosyncracy of their essential nature. Therefore, in this narrative, it all commences with a simple gift from a friend—a Dating Game from a renowned Japanese company. On Christmas Eve, tragedy strikes as he is murdered. But as he closes his eyes, a blinding flash of light transports him to an unknown location. Upon awakening, disorientation reigns as he gazes upon a different room through unfamiliar eyes. His reflection, once a mirror to his former self, reveals a startling revelation: "W-What is this? This person I see in the mirror, who is he?" Here, the juxtaposition of the insignificance of his old self and the allure of his new identity serves as a symbolic crossroads. It plunges his psyche in a conventional understanding of self-sufficiency and the authentic self. Thus, he embraces the name Nakamura Takumi, becoming the very embodiment of the dating game's protagonist. [Note: This is the same history on Wattpad (in spanish) and on HoneyFeed (But it's abandoned), I'm the same guy. Also, the illustrations are from an AI, so, There's gonna be errors!] [It should be noted that there will be a few characters/dialogues in Japanese, but with the translation/meaning obviously]
