Beyond the mirror, you can see your reflection at the edge of a small depression. Its edges are defined by trees and the depression itself is filled with countless white flowers.
It's the sort of place that's supposed to exist in the natural world… far beyond the borders of a city like Metroplex. Perhaps you'll see somewhere like this some day… but it's more likely TV shows will just keep taunting you.
