In the core area of Nestor Headquarters, near the security doors, Miyazato Kazama bid farewell to Ai Katagiri and proceeded alone to the checkpoint. She entered a sealed corridor with doors closing sequentially behind and in front of her.

Here she was to undergo multiple checks. Fingerprint, voiceprint, and retina scans were mandatory, followed by skin detail scans. The rigorous scrutiny was sometimes so intense that she would begin to doubt her own identity.

Next, she turned to face the Magic Mirror, as per the vocal instructions, a creation of Lady Farosa forged from Magical Materials. When one gazes into this mirror, they see their own soul.

Miyazato Kazama saw her own soul in the mirror, three amber glows twining around her shiny, fiery-red spirit. Her soul was so full and vibrant it seemed ready to leap from the glass and burn the world to ashes, yet it also appeared to coil around her very nature, bringing an endless erosion of her self.
