It all started with the pomegranate tree. It was the summer of my second year at university. I was heading to the "The Mirror of the World" Exhibition. By chance, that same day in the past, I had been in a fall. But now, it's just a distant memory from childhood. At the exhibition, I encountered eight men. That night... lured by the sweet scent of pomegranates, which I’ve always loved, I ate one. Suddenly, overwhelming drowsiness hit me. I couldn’t resist it and went to sleep. That’s when I heard a voice that sent a chill down my spine. "Welcome home. At last, I’m with you now." When I awoke the next morning, I was holding a hand-mirror I’d never seen before. A voice from the mirror—calling itself the mirror’s spirit—whispered to me, urging me to "save the fated one." And then, I saw the men from the exhibition again. As I got closer to them, they led me into a bizarre and surreal realm—the "Mirror World." In the Mirror World, the men only called me "Snow White," their expressions wild and unhinged, unlike when I met them in the real world. I came to know the "Queen" as I grew closer to them. "Capture Snow White." The Queen is trying to capture me—Snow White. The men’s madness. The Queen’s approach. I wonder why I’m called "Snow White," and why I’ve become her target... "Now it is your turn to know loneliness. Go ahead, try to escape. I’ll follow you to the ends of the world. I will capture you, I promise."
