...Which is a normal thing to see when you look in a mirror, but of course, this isn't a normal mirror. Strangely, though her reflection mirrors her movements, it looks different, somehow.

Carey turns away moments before she sees herself age into dust. She curls up into herself, her tail wrapped over her head, petrified.
