The next location was not a hotel.

It was a half-demolished mental institution on the outskirts of the city, long forgotten by the maps and overtaken by weeds and fog. Aryan had to bribe a local to unlock the iron gates that creaked like they carried stories of the dead.

Room 27 was on the third floor. The hallway smelled of mildew and something older—like rotting books and despair.

As Aryan stepped in, the black journal pulsed in his coat. He followed its warmth until he stood before a rusted metal door marked “27” in flaking white paint.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5loREoKag7
Inside, it was colder.

The walls were lined with shattered glass. No windows — only dozens of broken mirror shards nailed to every surface. They reflected Aryan from every angle.

But something was wrong.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9EuDsPTja
In every mirror, Aryan’s eyes looked… different. Glossier. Hollow.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiJfopHhk1
On the ground was a small mattress. And beside it — a hand-drawn portrait of a boy with completely silver eyes, smiling eerily.

Then the door slammed shut behind him.

He turned.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPvnpGdxWT
A boy stood there. About 12 years old. Pale, silent. His eyes weren’t just silver — they were literal mirror glass. Aryan could see his own reflection in them. But the reflection smiled back… differently.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxqUmBDWHH
The boy spoke, but his mouth didn’t move.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvBhaQekcq
“Don’t look away. He doesn’t like that.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRu0QoIMia
Aryan’s reflection stepped forward — but Aryan hadn’t moved.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIliCtkA5ww
The mirror version raised its hand. Aryan froze.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxQBvh8aJm
Suddenly, all the reflections in the room started to shift. In some, Aryan was screaming. In others, he was covered in blood. In one, he was missing.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWGg6sPRQQ
The real Aryan dropped to his knees, the journal clutched in his arms.

"This place feeds on self-perception. On guilt. On denial."

The mirror-boy tilted his head.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWcPvfFTGZ
“That’s how I disappeared,” he said softly. “I saw too many versions of myself, and forgot which one was real.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnKxyMUTpd
A mirror shattered behind Aryan.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXmfPhmCOx
He turned to look.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbmDV56fcy
In its broken pieces, he saw not himself, but his sister — standing behind him, burning again. Crying for help. Reaching.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUczdn4OOw
He whispered: “I’m sorry.”
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoxx4lXv30
All the mirrors shattered at once.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOuOWtBHAE
Aryan blacked out.

He awoke outside Room 27. The door wide open. Morning light streaming in. In his pocket, the journal vibrated.

Room 27 – Delivered
Room 6 – Final

Aryan stood slowly, eyes wet, breath unsteady.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP8FS6TMHI
One more door.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCtW9CU8bV
One final scream.
