Paranaguá, Brazil, August 2011. Lucas Dorne, a forty-three-year-old self-employed plumber with no history of breakdowns, comes home from a service call behaving strangely. He buys a mirror to test a hypothesis. Days later, he is gone. This is the complete file on the case: police reports, expert findings and the notes of investigator Eduardo Mori.

[ORG: One note before the reader goes any further. Several people who had access to the original file reported the same side effect: a growing feeling that the mirrors around them were being used to watch them, not to reflect them. We mention this not as a warning but as data. There is no evidence that the phenomenon is transmitted by reading. There is not enough evidence that it isn’t. This file was published with that knowledge. The decision to keep reading belongs entirely to the reader.]
Lucas bought the mirror to test a hypothesis. Because the night before, in the basement of the old house on Rua do Porto Velho, he had seen a mirror show an empty room in the exact spot where he was standing. He needed to know if the defect was in the glass or in him.
