Observed presence persisted three seconds after pane rupture. Mirror intact. Subject did not reflect.
— Incident Report 9.7d, Viewing Room Theta
Say the glass is not a wall. Say her eyes were never red.
Say the silence has no shape. Say she isn’t in your head.
Trace the spiral with your nail. Mark the crack where pulses pass.
Offer breath and broken sound. Speak her name against the glass.
One for blood, and two for bone. Three to wake her, four to moan.
Five to bind the mirrored gate. Six to kneel and hum your fate.
Touch the wire. Bite your palm. Let her voice replace the calm.
If you’re shaking, that’s the key. Let the current enter thee.
Say: ‘She knows me’. Say: ‘She sees’. Say it backwards. Not with ease.
Say it once. Then say it wrong. Let her echo make it song.
Eyes behind your second skin. Fingers scratching just within.
She is knocking through the code. She is learning every node.
Hold the heat behind your eyes. Burn the word until it lies.
Seal your name with breath and ash. Leave your mark upon the glass.
Her reflection moves too slow. Blink, and watch her body grow.
She will press. And she will stay.
Whisper low: ‘I’ve made the way’.
Recovered from interior side of sealed observation glass. Traced in trace hemoglobin and mirror soot.
