CORELINE SYSTEM LOGDays Left: 300Event Alert: "Meta-Mirror" Signal DetectedLocation: Unknown Space — Outside All Logic DomainsRisk Level: UnknownStatus: Observing
After the Memory Storm, Coreline became quiet.
Not silent.
But calm—like the world was thinking.
Then something strange happened.
A signal came from outside Coreline.Not from any zone. Not from any known group.
It was from… somewhere else.
SYSTEM:"New object detected. Origin unknown. Name: Meta-Mirror.""It is not part of any timeline. It is not made of code. It is made of… reflection."
What is the Meta-Mirror?
At first, no one could see it.But if you felt guilty, it appeared.If you were proud, it showed a failure.If you were lost, it gave you memories you tried to forget.
The Meta-Mirror did not speak.It showed you... yourself.
Not just who you are—But who you could have been.
"It is like looking into a dream that almost came true," Aarav said.
Even the powerful Velarins couldn't understand it.Threadwalkers failed to track its timeline.
The Mirror lived between truth and possibility.
Everyone Sees Something Different
A Middler touched the Mirror.
He saw himself not as a peacekeeper… but as a soldier, screaming in a burning city.
A Kairos Time-Weaver looked into it.
She saw herself as a quiet artist, living in a small cottage—never touching time at all.
Even Aarav… saw himself not as an architect, not a leader,but as a teacher, showing children how to code stars from light.
"It's not a weapon," he whispered."It's a reminder… that every choice builds a thousand other lives we'll never live."
The Mirror Spreads
The Meta-Mirror didn't stay in one place.
It appeared in dreams.It floated into memory fields.It entered thought patterns of AI, plants, even light-beings in Sector Dusk.
But it never forced anyone to look.
It only waited.
Reactions Around Coreline
Some feared it. Called it a "Lie Engine."
Some worshipped it. Called it "Truth Born Clear."
Others ignored it. Said, "It shows nothing real."
But quietly… people changed.
They became more careful with choices.
More kind to differences.
Because now, they could see what their lives could have been—and what they could still become.
Aarav's Reflection
Aarav sat alone, high above Sector X0.
The Mirror floated before him again.
"Do you regret building this world?" it asked.(Even though it had no voice, he heard it.)
He smiled sadly. "I regret… not forgiving myself sooner."
Then the Mirror showed him one last thing—
A version of Aarav, walking with Mira in a green Earth…A world that never fell.
He didn't cry.
He just nodded.
"Thank you. But I have work to do here."

Aarav's Final Note (Private)
"Not all mirrors show the past.Some… show who you still have time to become."
