Request for Im_everything ! The translation may be off key- it's hard to translate Japanese as I like doing it myself so if there are mistakes I apologise. Also I found the song in English for checking translation which is a bit different.

(Y/n) P.O.V

"Nobody has ever paid a visit
to this tiny room in the attic.
I'm a frail girl having an empty dream of happiness
in this world of absolute solitude."

I don't have any friends- i'm alone. Straight after school I retire to the old attic in my home.

In the attic is an old mirror at which I spent my time staring at my refection.

I see nothing.

"One day, in an old mirror,
a boy suddenly appeared.
Introducing himself as a magician,
he smiled at me with a face which bore a striking resemblance to mine."

Then one day, he appeared. He flipped my world around. It was strange to instead see a boy my age, sharing the same expression as I.

Nothing.

"The wheel of my fate began to turn, and my days began to change.
Is it okay for me to call you my "friend", my very first friend!?
As I hesitantly placed my palm against yours across the mirror,
I could sense the magic set in motion. "Say my name?""

And for once, he was real AND he was my best friend. Every day we would meet at the old mirror and talk to each other.

I would always press my palm against the glass and he would do the same, almost touching.

Almost

"From that hand I was touching, I heard your voice.
It was so warm that my tears started flowing.
Can I really just keep holding your hand?
In this lonely world, by myself, I had waited so long
for your tender hand from the other side of the mirror."

I learnt his name was Hiro. He under stood me.

We would spend hours talking or smiling- enjoying each other's presence through the magical mirror.

"The magician granted all of my wishes.
I was rid of my illness and could walk now.
The long long war has come to an end.
In this quiet room, there is now a lot more laughter."

Somehow Hiro helped my mood improve.

The time I spent with Hiro was only filled with laughter and joy. He made me feel whole again.

"In the past I once had a dream,
in which I remembered that I used to be a princess in a beautiful castle.
I still remember that nostalgic dream vividly.
And now even that has become reality."

I couldn't have been happier...

All I could have ever dreamed was now reality. A reality which I never wanted to end...

I didn't want it to...

Never.

"All the wishes I had in my dream have been granted,
but there is something I still want more of:
"magic", which only you are capable of.
"Please never let go of my hand...""

Then the thought struck me that Hiro and I would never be able to be together. He was on the other side of the mirror as to I.

I felt so alone as our magic connection we shared was growing weak.

Being alone would only break me more.

"I wish to you
that we would always be together like this,
so please come to me right now.
I'm so lonely that I cannot sleep. Won't you tenderly say my name?
I will always be waiting for you."

And there I was, watching the magic die out, my hand now touching nothing but my reflection.

I saw nothing.

"The duration of magic is too short.
The lonely girl's "dream" now reverts back to reality.
"I must leave now..." "Don't leave!"
"The magic is wearing off."
"I must bid you goodbye." "Don't say goodbye..."
"Please, don't cry." "Don't leave!""

And now I realise what I saw. The mirror showed the "mirror image" of everything it saw.

But two opposite fates aren't permitted to be together therefor I couldn't be with Hiro...

"Everything on the other side of the mirror is "the mirror image" of everything on this side.
Our completely opposite fates will never permit us to be together.
"I merely return to you what you have given me."
I will never forget your smile and your tears.
So please, don't ever forget
me."

I covered the magical mirror with a white sheet and walked away...

I don't go back to the attic anymore it has no purpose, I don't want to.

Every time I do I remember the day I first saw him...

"I wish we could have stayed together forever."
