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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn8VxQQK1W
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7ETP297nE
But something was wrong.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrrBEG8TnK
In every mirror, Aryan’s eyes looked… different. Glossier. Hollow.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1ApU6Jmox
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwu4uqr58w
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWuppvtLri
The boy spoke, but his mouth didn’t move.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMfcWlPgSW
“Don’t look away. He doesn’t like that.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4OsOJSIP9
Aryan’s reflection stepped forward — but Aryan hadn’t moved.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMaK4prWMw
The mirror version raised its hand. Aryan froze.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIzRSArkyB
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42oedG4ypp
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEOcw83zDW
“That’s how I disappeared,” he said softly. “I saw too many versions of myself, and forgot which one was real.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZvNO6pcbO
A mirror shattered behind Aryan.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt5VtnB9ST
He turned to look.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbp9RtGchi
In its broken pieces, he saw not himself, but his sister — standing behind him, burning again. Crying for help. Reaching.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3TuXEnTYW
He whispered: “I’m sorry.”
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblw68eh78h
All the mirrors shattered at once.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGxZAlpCdS
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQBiZU1PpZ
One more door.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb3dw8zicf
One final scream.
