The Reflection in the Mirror

What if the mirror could talk? What if it told you that the world out there is just a reflection of what you carry inside?

Lia is 16 years old and certain of one thing: nobody values her.

Her mother lives in the darkness of her room. Schoolmates pass by as if she were invisible. And Miguel – the boy of her dreams – doesn't even know she exists.

Until one ordinary night, the bathroom mirror winks back.

Terrified, Lia discovers she's not crazy. Elise – as she names the reflection – is a wise, ironic, and strangely loving presence who reveals the most disturbing and liberating secret of the universe: the world is a mirror. And it is always, always agreeing with you.

Now, between school hallways, teenage parties, and first love dilemmas, Lia must face her worst reflections:

🔹 The envy she feels toward her best friend – and the repressed desire to shine too

🔹 Her obsession with Miguel – and the truth about what she's really seeking

🔹 Her anger at her mother – and the fear of becoming the mirror of what she dreads most

🔹 The bitterness of an elderly neighbor – and the warning about blaming the world forever

But when Lia's mother is rushed to the hospital, the mirror shows its harshest face. And the girl who was learning to see herself must make a choice: will she crumble, or will she keep the light burning for both of them?
