When Roy looked in the mirror, he saw a murderer. In his mind, all mirrors shattered when he passed them; unable to hold his image.
Murderer
The people loved him as a hero, but he knew better. Roy knew that he was no hero, and watched as the mask fell away, abandoning the murderer he was. After each façade vanished, only the killer was left.
It glared smugly at Roy, silently taunting him. 'You are a murderer', its eyes seemed to say, 'just like me'. Then it would fall, like the others before it, and the mirror would shatter, shards flying everywhere.
Roy would blink, and everything would be as it was. All of the mirrors would be intact and the face of a pale man would stare back at him.
Once, he caught his reflection in a pair of mirrored sunglasses that just happened to be on the face of one Riza Hawkeye. He had a brief moment of terror that the glasses might break and get shards in her eyes, but nothing happened.
Even as he saw himself as he truly was, the mirror stayed intact.
He was no longer the sum of his masks; Riza was there, and she completed him.

End Note: Sorry this one came so late. I know it is kind of weird, but I think it fits the theme ok.
