Summary	In a world where dreams bleed into reality, Tomoe Hachirou recounts hauntingly vivid visions that defy logic. His recurring dreams transport him to a labyrinthine corridor lined with golden-handled doors, leading to a mirrored chamber where identities fracture. Here, he confronts lovers and strangers in scenes of betrayal, wielding a pistol that blurs the line between illusion and violence. Each dream grows more visceral—a lover’s death, a friend’s wife slain—leaving him tormented by guilt that lingers upon waking. As Tomoe insists these visions are mere dreams, a chilling twist emerges: authorities accuse him of real-world crimes mirroring his nocturnal acts. Imprisoned and interrogated, he clings to the belief that his waking life is another layer of delusion, even as a gallows looms. Is he a madman lost in delusions, or a pawn in a sinister plot spanning dual realities? The answer lies in the shifting reflections of a mirror—and the terrifying truth neither world dares reveal.
