That's the thing, isn't it?
That there's so much that the mirrors won't show. All the friendships he's made, all those he has cared for, all the people he has helped even if they've never even heard his name before. The donations to charity. The institutions opened. How much of it has the public really seen? Only a fraction.
The mirrors decide to show that part too.Does that help you sleep at night?
Criticism calls it all a PR stunt. They say he should do more. There's never such a thing as pleasing the world, he had learned that a long time ago.
But, why should he want to please the world?
Why should he care about anyone's opinion but his own?
Wicked. Rotten to the core. He had been called an angel, the devil, and everything in between two. Who gives a fuck?
Tuesday hits the mirror, and this time, the spiderwebs spread so far that it shatters beneath her, leading to her fall. And oh, she falls. Slowly at first, gliding through the darkness thanks to her cloak of pearlescent white feathers. There is no ground in sight. Sarah Lee is nowhere to be found. There's nothing but mirror shards.
The shards show her something much different this time.
They don't show her Mars, but they show her herself, right here in UNOVR. They show her the way she has stood at the edge of the chasm that is the Precipice Shrine, sacrificing Pokémon time and again without a second thought. They show her the hurtful words she has said. They show her all the pain she has caused to them.
"So what?" She laughs. "It's just a fucking game."
What's the point in acting as others wish? All that matters is her own damn entertainment. That's the point of games: to do what entertains. Sometimes it will align with others' enjoyment and sometimes it won't, and that's okay. Others may criticize her actions, and just as Mars does with all criticism in his life, it is all ignored.
No one's opinion on Tuesday matters but Tuesday's.YOU SAY YOU DON'T CARE, BUT YOU'RE STILL LOSING
Ah, now that one does strike a chord and the mirrors laugh when it does so. If there's one thing Tuesday can't tolerate, if there's one thing Mars has never dealt well with, that's defeat.
She won't lose.
