You weren’t looking for your reflection. But it found you walking.
You didn’t plan to look. It was just a store window darkened glass, maybe a boutique, maybe an office. But you caught a glimpse of yourself. So you kept watching. Not staring. Not stopping. Just walking beside the version of you painted in reflections. Your gait, your hair, your bag swinging, the way your face looks when you're in motion. You don’t look away. Not yet. It’s a mirror that never waits for you.
2:14 PM: You turn onto a quieter street lined with storefronts.
2:17 PM: You see yourself, mid-stride, and it slows your thoughts.
2:20 PM: You walk with your reflection for half a block.
2:22 PM: You adjust your posture without thinking.
2:25 PM: You pass the last pane. No more glass. Just you again.
Overview: Reflection catches full height. You’re next to your own silhouette.
Landmarks: Empty desks inside, potted plant near door, faded window tint.
Tips: Let yourself walk naturally. The mirror will walk with you.
Overview: Fashion beside you. Glass just clean enough to see past and into.
Landmarks: Neutral-toned jackets, faint music from inside, chalkboard sign on sidewalk.
Tips: Focus on your face once. Then focus on your movement.
Overview: The building is quiet. Your reflection is the only thing moving.
Landmarks: Torn menu taped to glass, curtain pulled halfway, graffiti near handle.
Tips: Walk slowly. Let the silence behind the glass frame the pace.
