In "What the Mirror Revealed!", a man uses his time mirror to manipulate a girl’s affections, pretending to be selfish so she’ll confess her love to the selfless, struggling man he’s pitted against. The mirror shows past events, but its true power lies in revealing what lies beneath the surface—both in others and in oneself.
