The thundering that had shattered reality died away as abruptly as it had begun. The cacophony of snapping wood and screaming insects retreated into a hollow and ringing echo that pulsed for a few lingering seconds before fading into a heavy and absolute silence.
The darkness peeled away to reveal a familiar sight. The forest edge remained but the oppressive weight of the ritual was gone. The alchemical circle had vanished and it left only the natural and damp soil of the forest floor and village boarder fence. The five pillars of chakra that had dominated the sky were nowhere to be seen. It was a normal night with the air cool and the trees whispering in a gentle breeze. Yet the peace felt wrong, like a hollow imitation of the world she had just been standing in.
Then she would notice her, figure stood only a few paces away.
The woman was tall and stood roughly five feet and eight inches. She was draped in similar gear to what Mitsuha was wearing, perhaps even the same. She watched with a tilted head and a look of genuine and clinical curiosity. Since Mitsuha had only recently inhabited this body and had not yet found a mirror she might have felt a jarring disconnect from the person in front of her but it was her exact double. Looking at this person was like looking at a stranger who possessed a hauntingly familiar aura if not yet a familiar face.
The double did not wait for a reaction. With a fluid and practiced grace she shifted, her feet slid into the dirt and her hands came up with palms open and fingers slightly curved. It was the exact and unfamiliar fighting stance that Mitsuha’s own body had instinctively taken in the real world. It was a perfect marriage of Gentle Fist’s poise and draconic tension.
The doppelgänger’s eyes were sharp and searching as they locked into their targets. The silence of the clearing was broken by a quiet and melodic voice, somehow familiar, that vibrated with a strange oracular quality.
"Are you real?"
