Mirror's Dark Reflection

Megumin

(That explosion magic really drained me today. I need to wash up.)

Megumin

Just a quick look to make sure I'm presentable.

Megumin

What... what is this?!

Megumin

That's not... that's not me!

Megumin

(The reflection... it has horns, fangs, and those eyes... burning like crimson flames!)

Kazuma

Megumin? We heard you scream. Are you okay?

Megumin

It's... it's gone. The mirror shows me normally now.

Megumin

(Was it just my imagination? Or is this what I truly am inside?)

Aqua

Don't worry, Megumin. Sometimes our minds play tricks when we're tired.

Aqua

You're still our explosion-loving friend, no matter what.

Megumin

(The lights... where's the switch? This darkness feels alive, crawling through my veins!)

Megumin

No, no, no! This isn't happening!

Megumin

(The mirror... it's cracking from my touch! What am I becoming?)

Aqua

Kyaa! Something just burned my hand!

Aqua

Megumin, there's some kind of dark aura around you!

Kazuma

Everyone stay back! Something's not right here!

Megumin

I can't control it! The magic... it's not mine anymore!

Megumin

(It's taking over! I'm going to hurt them all!)

Darkness

Light of sanctity, protect us all!

Darkness

Megumin, you're stronger than this darkness!

Megumin

It's... it's gone again. I can see myself normally.

Megumin

(But for how long? Each time it gets stronger, harder to suppress.)

Aqua

Megumin, we need to find out what's happening to you.

Aqua

This isn't normal magic... it felt ancient and malevolent.

Megumin

No, not again! The lights!

Megumin

(The darkness is swallowing everything... I can hear my own voice chanting!)

Megumin

Those eyes... they're everywhere!

Megumin

In the faucet, the doorknob, even the water droplets!

Megumin

(They're blinking together... with each blink, I see cities burning from my magic!)

Megumin

These aren't my memories! I never destroyed cities!

Kazuma

Megumin! We can hear you screaming!

Kazuma

Hold on, we're trying to break down the door!

Megumin

Stop it! That's not who I am!

Megumin

(The visions are replacing my real memories... I'm losing myself!)

Aqua

Sacred Turn Undead! Begone, evil presence!

Aqua

Megumin, remember who you really are!

Megumin

I am Megumin! I cast explosion magic to protect my friends!

Megumin

(Their voices... they're anchoring me to reality! I won't let this darkness win!)

Megumin

It's over... I can see myself again.

Megumin

But this corruption... it's not gone forever, is it?

Megumin

Each piece... they're all showing different versions of me!

Megumin

Horns, multiple eyes, twisted grins... what is this?!

Kazuma

The door won't budge! Something's blocking it from the inside!

Kazuma

Megumin, whatever you're seeing, don't listen to it!

Megumin

(The whispers... I can understand them. They're offering me power beyond imagination!)

Megumin

Ultimate explosion magic... enough to level mountains with a single cast...

Megumin

They're showing me... explosions that could reshape the world itself!

Megumin

(All I have to do is accept this form... embrace what I truly am inside...)

Aqua

Sacred Exorcism! I can sense the corruption growing stronger!

Aqua

Megumin, don't let it fool you! That power comes with a terrible price!

Megumin

No! I don't need unlimited power!

Megumin

My explosion magic is perfect because it's mine... and it protects the people I love!

Darkness

That's our Megumin! Light of valor, shatter this darkness!

Darkness

Your true strength comes from your bonds with us!

Megumin

The mirrors... they're just broken glass now.

Megumin

(But this small mark on my cheek... it's a reminder that the darkness isn't completely gone.)
