A colleague fails to show up for a whole week at work, without leave. Having been ordered by the boss, one makes a visit to the guy's room. Shock! Mirror after mirror after mirror, covering all the walls. One's piercing gaze is reflected back on one's self from all directions. On the floor are placed a countless number of training machines, each without its master.
All the mirrors and training machines together in such a small space -- what sort of life does this guy live, anyway? At this point an exploration begins into his life, something that had never crossed one's mind before.

"Mirror, o mirror. If everything you reflect is the truth, then no one will permit it; no one will ever accept it.
Mirror, o mirror. How should I take the truth that you reflect, thrust as it is upon me, with my parched lips, the goose bumps over my whole body, and my clenched stomach?" The guy then closes his eyes, shutting out the world -- standing on the verge of schizophrenia.

A story of the communication carried out between one's self on the brink, and one's self.
