I live in a quiet place that no one can see, silent, timid, and transparent, like a shadow that can disappear at any time.
Until that late night when I collapsed, I whispered to myself in the mirror and made a wish:
If only you could live for me.
When I woke up again, the world was upside down.
I became a lightless and silent shadow, watching helplessly as another "me" stepped on my life and became what I longed for most.
She is dazzling, stretched, and loved by others.
My family is gentle, my youth is enamored of me, and everyone likes the new me.
Only I know——
The face that looks exactly like mine in the mirror is not me.
It's the echo that I have suppressed for seventeen years.
This exchange was never an accident.
She has been waiting for this day longer than I have been alive.
And I must be completely forgotten before,
Find back the self that was thrown away by my own hands.
