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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlOlaKk2mT
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVmuqr51Pg
Inside, it was colder.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDn5Rqdxik
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvUMwSetw3
But something was wrong.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMnjPHSLWz
In every mirror, Aryan’s eyes looked… different. Glossier. Hollow.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡichrRueGD6
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZibx1PR2gU
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ823OaSiWK9
The boy spoke, but his mouth didn’t move.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbNLUsKEL0
“Don’t look away. He doesn’t like that.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1l6FkIQkB
Aryan’s reflection stepped forward — but Aryan hadn’t moved.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoCVYl6amd
The mirror version raised its hand. Aryan froze.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxuiTZtpj3
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOWAULxlkr
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNyyweRwNs
“That’s how I disappeared,” he said softly. “I saw too many versions of myself, and forgot which one was real.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6C4Bh5P14
A mirror shattered behind Aryan.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDvZtr74NE
He turned to look.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zPfTnXMkr
In its broken pieces, he saw not himself, but his sister — standing behind him, burning again. Crying for help. Reaching.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmRhrvwtEm
He whispered: “I’m sorry.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9KrgH4Rdg
All the mirrors shattered at once.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuNBTEV7aq
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenALGAEDxT
One more door.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsiNxogeb3
One final scream.
