Hi. I'm Tsubaki.

You've probably heard of me. After the defeat of the kishin, practically everyone knows me as the weapon of the famous Blackstar.

Hmm? Oh, I don't have a problem with that! I'm used to Blackstar getting all the attention. I'm used to all of this. I'm absolutely fine with it, honest.

Do you think I'm beautiful?

Almost everyone who first meets me just stares, then apologizes and makes some compliment on my hair, or my dress, or my personality.

Everyone thinks I'm beautiful. Am I? Am I beautiful?

Today I woke up. I looked in the mirror. Am I self conscious?

Because when I looked in the mirror, someone else looked back at me.

A girl who looked almost exactly like me, except for a few minor things. Her face was ugly and scarred. Her eyes were cruel and cold. And her face was twisted into a frown.

Was that me I saw? Everyone says I'm beautiful. But every time I look in the mirror to check, all I see is her. She stares back at me and I look away in fear and she laughs. She points at me and laughs.

She scares me.

And she is doing something to me.

Today I went to Kidd's house. He wanted to show me something. He points at the wall and there is a painting, framed in gilt.

It is a painting of the girl who appears in my mirror

I grab his arm. I tell him, "Where did you get this painting? Where?"

He looks at me funny. Then he says, "Tsubaki, this is a mirror,"

And when I get home, the girl is in the mirror. She sneers at me and says, "Well? Don't you get it? Don't you understand at all?" for a second she looks like she pities me. Then she starts laughing, like she does every time.

Someone help me! Someone get her out! Please!

That was five years ago. She is still in my mirror, watching me, mocking me.

Maka comes to my house. Maka and Blackstar. Maka sits on my bed. She pats me on the back. "Tsubaki, are you okay?" she says. Her eyes are full of concern. Even Blackstar looks worried.

I get up and push them away. I point at the mirror. "Don't you see her? There she is!" I scream. But Maka looks confused. "Tsubaki, there's nothing wrong with the mirror,"

I scream at her and she goes out. I try to make her come back. I didn't mean to scream at her. But she is gone. And a bad feeling in me tells me she won't be coming back.

I turn to Blackstar. He looks at me for a long time. Then he gets up to leave. Just before he goes out the door, he looks at the mirror, then at me. "Tsubaki, all I see is you,"

And he goes away.

Someone.

Anyone.

Help me.

Tell me who the girl is.

Tell me what she wants.

And please, if you can.

Tell me who I am.
