INTERMISSION/EXPLANATION
Sometimes stories are broken into pieces. You must collect all the shards of a mirror before you may see the image within. Then you look at the whole and you recognize each piece from when you picked it up, examined it, studied it, and fitted it into its proper place. You see? Now you can understand the whole of the story, and each piece may mean more to you than the entire story together. Sometimes it makes sense. Sometimes it doesn't.
Each shard is a miniature story of its own. There is love and hate and obsession and pain. Just remember that each shard has a place where it fits perfectly with the whole.
