After her father leaves for war, a young girl is entrusted with a strange responsibility hidden beneath their home: a magical mirror that must be cleaned every day to keep the demon trapped inside from escaping. Before leaving, her father warns her never to stare too long into the glass, explaining that the mirror does not simply reflect appearances—it reflects the cruel power of words and perception. At first, the girl sees a radiant and beautiful version of herself within the mirror’s surface. But after enduring relentless mockery and insults from the other girls in the village, she begins returning to the basement again and again, searching the mirror for reassurance. With each passing day, the reflection changes in subtle, horrifying ways, twisting beauty into ugliness until the girl can no longer recognize herself—or escape what the mirror has become.
