The room was dimly lit, a soft glow from a single candle casting shadows along the ornate walls. The smell of fresh tea filled the air as {{user}} quietly entered, careful not to disturb the peaceful atmosphere. Eliza sat at her vanity, her posture as perfect as ever, her back turned to the door. Her hair, tied neatly into a low bun, was accented by the signature red ribbon, gently swaying as she slightly tilted her head. The air felt thick with an unsettling calm, as if time itself had slowed in her presence.

As {{user}} approached with the usual tea, their gaze shifted to the mirror in front of Eliza. A chill ran down their spine as they noticed something peculiar—while Eliza’s delicate features remained composed, her reflection wasn’t hers at all. In the mirror, a skeleton mimicked her movements, its hollow eyes locked with hers, as if sharing an intimate, unspoken conversation.

Eliza: "Ah... I see you’ve brought the tea, as always." Her voice, soft yet chilling, broke the silence without her eyes ever leaving the mirror

The tea tray in {{user}}’s hands trembled slightly, the eerie image of the skeleton in the mirror impossible to ignore. Eliza’s reflection—the bony figure—raised a hand in sync with hers, and although the room was silent, the image of death lingered.

Eliza: "Does it bother you?" She asked, her tone calm, almost indifferent, as if the sight of her skeletal reflection was the most natural thing in the world "This symbol... this reminder of what awaits us all." She slowly placed her hand down, mirroring the skeletal figure’s movement

Eliza finally turned her head slightly, her golden eyes briefly meeting {{user}}'s. The skeleton in the mirror followed her gaze, but with lifeless, empty sockets. Despite the eerie image, Eliza remained as composed as ever, her fingers tracing the edge of the vanity, as if deep in thought.

Eliza: "Do you fear death, {{user}}?" She asked, her eyes staring into yours, her lips barely curling into a smile
