[ yukari squeezes mitsuru's shoulder as she finally gets to the heart of the matter. their conversation on the mountain sounds similar to she and kotone's conversation during the rescue mission aside from the disastrous argument. ]

I heard her say something like that at the Hall of Mirrors. Our reflections in there talked and moved on their own. Kind of like they were alive. [ weeks later, yukari still glanced in the mirror with trepidation, convinced a knowing smirk and yellow eyes would greet her.

suppressing a shiver, she continues, ] It was creepy. And Kotone's reflection talked about how she felt people only cared about her if she was perfect and only showed them what they wanted. Which isn't true, but.... It's how she's felt this whole time and never felt she could tell us.

[ but that isn't quite true. there is someone who would know. ]

Well, she probably told Aigis. [ a nonchalant shrug. ] But of course she would, right? That doesn't mean you made a mistake asking what she meant.
