Through the Looking Glass

A mirror cracks. A shadow stirs. A name is lost, then regained.
A Touken Ranbu AU Series

There are places where time forgets how to flow.
Where memory folds inward, and sorrow casts shadows sharper than any blade. In these places, regrets do not sleep. They echo—and sometimes, they take shape.

Reflections are not always true.
Some are warped by longing.
Some are pulled from the moment before a choice was made.
And some, born of silence, smile back with teeth.

These distortions slip through rifts—fractures in the world where emotion bends reality. Where the past and the present shimmer together, indistinguishable. Where even the most familiar face might hide a stranger behind the glass.

Mirrors don’t break all at once.
This is the story of how they cracked — through silence, through grief, and through the love that remained.

A trilogy of memory, distortion, and the long path to recognition.
