A mirror? Looking for me? Abner looked at the small mirror Miss Plant held in her hands. It had a golden frame and a pitch-black surface. He recognized it at once as the Magic Mirror that had been "comfortably" killed by Holy Light in Nashali's nightmare.
Miss Plant did not seem right, either. Her movements were stiff, and her eyes looked vacant. Is she being controlled? Abner went on guard. He activated the Pure White Eye instantly and even considered making a disturbance to draw Closia over.
