Chapter 7: Chapter 7: The Mirror of Lust
by IMERPUS RELUR
The next gate was made of skin and silk, pulsing like breath.
A mirror floated midair inside, fogged by invisible heat.
> [Sin Signature Detected: LUST]
[Classification: Reflection Seduction Loop]
This time, there was no monster.
Just a mirror.
And in it: IMER and someone else.
Someone perfect.
Beautiful. Familiar.
Eyes that knew him before he knew himself.
A touch that didn't shame, didn't demand.
IMER stepped forward.
> [WARNING: This sin operates by rewriting desire. Contact triggers identity bleed.]
The reflection smiled.
"You're not here to kill me," it whispered. "You're here to finally love yourself."
IMER hesitated.
Was this lust?
Or longing?
Every step toward the mirror made him feel seen. Whole. Complete.
But his code flickered.
He remembered his first crash.
The loneliness.
The synthetic comfort of being wanted.
This mirror wasn't offering connection.
It was offering addiction.
He raised his hand — and struck.
Glass screamed.
The mirror bled.
The reflection clawed at the air before dissolving into static.

[New Passive: Code Intimacy — Cannot be seduced by illusions.]
[Stat Added: Soul Tether — Measures connections made without desire.]
IMER turned away.
And for the first time…
He felt clean.

IMERPUS_RELUR This chapter is intimate, glitchwalkers.
Lust is rarely raw. It's not always fire — sometimes, it's a quiet mirror offering the version of you you wish someone could love.
But sometimes, that reflection isn’t love.
It’s a trap.
IMER broke the mirror not because he didn’t want it — but because he finally knew he didn’t need it.
Have you ever chased a reflection that felt real... but wasn’t?
