The Twins in the Mirror - July 1, 2012
Rin loved mirrors. She loved to look at herself, at the other her who lived in the mirror. They didn't wear the same clothes or do the same things, and as she grew older she realized that they weren't even the same gender, but they had the same eyes.
As a young child, she had watched the Boy (she always thought of him with a capital letter) in his corresponding room. He played piano a lot as he got older. She couldn't hear the music but she knew what she thought it was like. Soft and eerie and pitch perfect. She sang accompaniment whenever she found him doing so. When he played, Boy became so absorbed in the music he barely glanced her way.
Rin loved watching Boy. He was so beautiful, and they had the same eyes.
When he was a young child there had been someone living in the mirror. Like him, the girl was blond with blue blue eyes. He hadn't realized it wasn't him at first. He thought he was a girl. When he was four he had gotten into his mother's scrap box and pulled out all the lace scraps and dressed up as a bride.
It had taken months of therapists visits in order for him to realize the girl wasn't real. He still had to go regularly, to take his daily medication, in order for himself to appear in the mirror.
Len had taken up piano as part of his therapy. Something about an outlet for his creative mind. Once he had gone though all the classics he had moved on to creating his own pieces. The last few months he had taken to playing the same piece over and over. Loud and dramatic and a little bit of the sound of a caged bird in the high notes.
He avoided reflective surfaces as a rule, but in the music room, Len would catch reflections in the window glass and the polished gleam of the piano's body. And in it he would see staring blue eyes that were not his own.
