Sixteen-year-old Caroline has everything that is enviable: gentle parents, close friends, just the right amount of frustration, and a youth that sparkles every day.
It took her seven years to finally believe that she was the lucky one of destiny.
That is until she discovered that there were buttons of icing on the cookies.
Until the black cat spoke again, looking at her with an almost pity look, and asked:
"Haven't you seen enough?"
Until she saw a door deep in the mirror - the fourteenth door that she locked with her own hands and hung the key around her neck.
It turns out that she didn't win at all seven years ago.
She was simply replaced with a more elaborate cage, a trick that would automatically mend the cracks as she grew. The parents in this world loved her dearly, but the recipe of this "love" was mixed with the devoured souls of other children. The world gave her every setback she could bear, because the real suffering had long been filtered out. She was living in a "perfect falsehood" tailor-made for her, and the mother who gave her all this was just standing beside her tenderly, smiling and asking:
"If it's exposed, where do you think you can go back? You will lose your happy self - and the happy you you are now."
Caroline looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in the mirror, and finally understood: What she was facing was no longer a hide-and-seek with monsters, but a farewell to all the happiness of the past seventeen years. She must answer one question:
In order to confirm that she is real, does she dare to personally destroy the only beautiful life she has?
