Chapter 3 - Mirror in Dreams

---

My steps were fast and heavy as I left Luira's house. The leaves rustled softly along the small path, but it felt like a mocking whisper. I don't know what I was thinking coming there at night like that. Maybe it was just curiosity, maybe it was also because... I don't know.

I rubbed my arms that still felt a little tingly. The ropes had indeed been removed, but the traces of their cold pressure seemed to still be stored on my skin.

The night wind touched the bottom of her loosely hanging skirt. And that's when my mind suddenly highlighted a strange memory—I don't know where it came from, I don't know why it could appear now.

I saw myself.

Tied up.

In the perfect Frogtie position.

No stockings, no protection whatsoever on my entire legs. Just bare skin that was red from the pressure of the ropes. My dress and short skirt rose slightly, just enough to reveal a position that was... too revealing. Too weak. Too... embarrassing.

I immediately stopped walking. A strange urge gripped my chest. Embarrassed. Very.

"What the hell was that just now…"

I quickly walked again, this time faster than before. The sound of my footsteps echoed louder on the small stone path to the dormitory.

Once I reached the door, I could only lower my head. My face was still hot, as if someone had just shown me something I shouldn't have seen. Even though it was just… a memory. Or maybe just a hallucination. But it felt so real.

I entered the dormitory, didn't talk to anyone, went straight to my room, and threw myself onto the bed.

The blanket covered my body. But not my thoughts. The strange image still lingered in my eyelids. Too clear. Too detailed. Was it because I thought too much about the bond tonight? Or…

I took a deep breath. Closed my eyes.

And let the dream take over.

In the dream

I stood in front of Luira's door again.

The night air was like before. My steps were like before. But something was different—the air around me felt quieter, like the world was holding its breath.

I pushed open the door slowly. The living room greeted me with dim, blue lighting. And there, sat Luira. Perfectly bound, just like the night before—hands behind her back, legs bent in Frogtie, her body straight and still. But there was one thing different: Luira was smiling at me, wider than usual.

I raised something in my hand—a recording device, maybe a cell phone.

I intended to take a picture.

And just like before, I knew... I had broken something.

In an instant, the blue rope appeared out of thin air, wrapping itself around me quickly, and in a matter of seconds, I was in the same position as Luira. Bound, sitting, knees bent and tied to the side, wrists pinned behind my back.

But... the dream didn't stop there.

Luira moved.

Still bound, she slid to the side of the room like a creature unhindered by anything. She opened a small niche and took something—a crystal, just like before.

I felt relieved. She was going to free me. But it turned out...

She only untied himself. Her body was free. But I wasn't.

I stared at her, confused. But she just smiled, even stranger now. Then with light steps, she took a new blue rope, and began to connect my leg ties to the sofa legs behind me.

I couldn't move anymore. My sitting position now really made it impossible to bend down. My legs were fully exposed. The hem of my skirt was slightly lifted up, and the rope that locked my thighs crossed the pressure to a position that was... very private.

"What are you—"

I didn't have time to finish my words. Luira took a small mirror, then placed it right in front of me. I could see my own face and body, flushed, panting, and completely helpless.

Then with a very soft voice, but terrifying because of its calmness, Luira said:

"This is the result... of entering someone's house and taking pictures of someone who is tied up."

I wanted to answer. But my tongue was numb.

I wanted to turn my head. But the rope was too strong.

I want to wake up. But...

---

I wake up.

Breathing heavily. My body is soaked in cold sweat. The sound of my heartbeat echoes in my ears. The morning light has not yet fully appeared behind the curtains of the room. But I know... I have truly returned to the real world.

I look around.

No rope.

No mirror.

No Luira.

Just me.

And the strange shame... still lingers.

With a quick breath, Riria sneered in her heart. "What was that dream?"

"Nightmare? Not really. But it was a shock. I was tied up with my legs completely exposed due to the ties.

"

But for some reason the sensation that Riria got after that dream made her heart beat faster.
