5 Suicide Girl
Fifth, a girl is trying to suicide and lies down on the railway, waiting for the train to pass by.
6 Happy memories
Next, the scene is filled with smiles and happiness. It is showing all the characters are having their beautiful lifestyle, all the characters have enjoyed much better times than they are now.
7 Drowned lover
Now, we back to the scene where the character has their hard times. First, the drowned lover was pulled out from the water, and the people who pushed her lover saw herself in the mirror, with the lyrics, beautiful now, beautiful now.
8 Traveller

9 Victim
Third, the victim points his gun at the robbers, and he saw himself in the mirror.
10 Thief
Fourth, the thief that stole in the store just now is evaluating his knife, and he saw his reflection on the blade, with the lyrics, you’re beautiful now.
11 Suicide girl
And lastly, the suicide girl survived from the railway, she was also confusing, and she back home, then she saw her reflection from the window.
12 End of the Story
So here we come to the end of the story, which is to let the audience imagine the character’s ending, after they saw their reflection, will they start realizing it? Or do they give themselves another chance? Maybe the drowned lover is survived, maybe the traveller successfully climbs up the mountain, maybe the victim did not shoot the robbers but brought them to justice, maybe the thief changes his mind, maybe the girl realizes it is not worth ending her life and decides to live.
What I feel
From the beginning, the characters are facing problems, for example, the victim’s house was robbed and he decided to point the gun at the robbers. Sometimes it is hard to make decisions and we may feel regret when we did the wrong decision.
​
After they watch their own reflections, they are suddenly realized and awake from the situation they overcome. So it is about our behaviour and mindset. So when they are looking in the mirror, they start thinking,
After my research, looking at the mirror can let people feel exposed and more understand their inner selves. Furthermore, when people think in their mind, actually have an aura, so aura is a thought like a luminous body surrounding our body. Aura can have different colours which can represent what energy we have. So from here, thoughts are important for everyone, what energy you have may lead you to a certain conclusion. Just like the characters facing, they have a chance to repent, and the important point is what conclusion they done.

"Wherever it's going, I'm gonna chase it.
What's left of this moment, I'm not gonna waste it. Stranded together, our worlds have collided.
This won't be forever, so why try to fight it?"
As the lyrics said, whatever the decision we made, it is part of our life so that our life will become more interesting and beautiful.
