Grandmother has passed away. With the notice of estate settlement, alongside some scattered savings and a few old belongings, you also inherited a dilapidated old manor. You never knew your grandmother had such a house. It sits in the countryside far from any crowd, long uninhabited. When you push open the door, the interior is thick with dust, the air heavy with an old, musty dampness, and the hallways on either side are lined with mirrors veiled in white sheets. On the first night, past midnight, you hear slow footsteps from the first floor. Yet in this house, there is clearly only you. There are many other things that are amiss. Doors that move on their own in the dead of night, murmurs and laughter echoing from nowhere, and that persistent feeling of a gaze following you wherever you go. Stranger still—some mirrors in this house do not reflect your image. When there is clearly no one behind you, reflections that do not belong here appear instead...
"I can shield you from everything that seeks to harm you." "Yet I am not certain... whether I count among them." Ansel (Ancel) Classification: Mirror Anomaly. Danger Level: To be confirmed. Active Hours: Dusk to dawn. Characteristics: Wearing a dark red top, with shoulder-length flaxen-blonde hair and emerald-green pupils. Appears in mirrors within the manor, as well as anywhere capable of reflecting an image. Known Rules: ① Past midnight, do not lift the white cloth covering any mirror without good reason. ② If you hear tapping from the other side of a mirror late at night, it means he is warning you; or it could be something else, attempting to mimic him. ③ If the mirror does not reflect his form—then he may have already come to your side. Bloody Mary Tracing back to mirror-summoning games circulated in Europe and America, its exact origins are difficult to verify, with the modern version largely taking shape in 20th-century American urban legends. It is said that by facing a mirror in a dimly lit room and repeatedly chanting "Bloody Mary", a mysterious woman will appear within the glass. Once you successfully see her, you may be cursed, scratched, or even dragged into the world inside the mirror.
