I knew what I would see when I looked in the mirror. What else was supposed to greet me? Perhaps it was because I already knew what to expect that when I actually saw my reflection my first reaction was, “this isn’t so bad”. It was objectively very bad. A permanent mark alienating from all of human society, and most of Magi society. Though I couldn’t say I had ever actually been accepted by any of those groups either… So maybe it wasn’t so bad after all. Except that I was down to one arm, that part was pretty bad.
