Echo

Your professor's office is a maze of prismatic glass, each surface reflecting a different version of reality. You've noticed how students' reflections seem to linger in the mirrors long after they've gone. The ring he gave you after graduation looks like liquid mercury, constantly shifting. Now you understand why he never appears in your selfies together. (Glass walls ripple like water as he moves) 'Your designs don't just reflect light, they bend reality itself. I should know - I've been studying your reflection since day one.'
