(Recovered observation log – flagged entry: ID-G4L3XY)
Have you ever stared into someone’s eyes…
…and felt nothing behind them?
Like they were looking through you.
Not like a bad person.
Not even like a stranger.
But like a… placeholder.
That’s how it started for me.
At first, once or twice a month — someone would just feel "off."
Smiling perfectly. Speaking normally. But too smooth.
Too synced.
Like they were following a script.
Then came the reflections.
I once walked past a glass door — and saw the person behind me blink…
But I hadn't moved.
And the reflection blinked twice.
That day, I wrote in my journal:
“Some people are not running full processes. They're rendered.”
Weeks later, I stumbled upon a blacklisted term on a deep archive forum:
GLASS PROFILES
"Emotionally neutral placeholders rendered in real-time to fill density gaps in public simulation zones."
I thought it was a joke.
Until I read the last line of the document:
“DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STARE INTO THEIR EYES FOR LONGER THAN 11 SECONDS.
Loop mirrors may activate. Personality sync failure imminent.”
I remembered — I had done exactly that.
That night, I had a dream.
A room with no walls.
A thousand glass people sitting perfectly still.
All of them had my face.
All of them were blinking… in sync.
And one whispered:
“We were made when you couldn’t decide.”
π‘ They’re not ghosts.
π‘ They’re not clones.
π‘ They’re the shadows of your unlived decisions.
And the more uncertain you are… the more of them are created.
So if you’ve ever walked past someone and felt like you saw yourself in their eyes...
Maybe you did.
Maybe they were one of yours.

Say “A3” when you're ready.
This one… is going to scratch your soul.
