This was partly inspired by a poem called "The Lady of Shallot", by Lord Tennyson. In it, a woman from Arthurian legend is cursed and forbidden to look at the outside world. She can only look at the world through a mirror and weave what she sees through the mirror. One day, she sees two lovers through the mirror and is sick of her cursed life saying, "I am half sick of shadows". She decides to defy her curse and look at Camelot and ends up seeing Lancelot and falls in love. But by doing so, she is cursed to die. Before that, she gets into a boat and floats down the river to Camelot. There are many different interpretations to this poem.

It made me think of Mayu, who was tired of only living life experiences only through her own figurative mirror, from the hospital. She would see people come and go, but never lived those life experiences herself because of her illness. A son who could look forward to eating pancakes with his parents after he got better. Hig

Happy Holidays!
