Excerpt:
She didn\\u2019t let me into her house, but she did give me the trash bag with the broken shards of the mirror. And she did agree to take a picture of the mirror\\u2019s remnants with my camera. (She frowned when Iteased her not to steal it.) My phone had a better lens than that old camera, but this wasn\\u2019t the first time someone didn\\u2019t let me in somewhere, but did agree to take pictures for me.

I nodded to myself as I reviewed the pictures. I would be able to put the shards back together again. And compare them to the other mirrors I\\u2019d reassembled.\\xa0\\xa0I could already guess what I would find.

Episode Art Description: Digital drawing. A woman seen from the left, crouching and picking up a shard of glass. She wears a knee-length coat which flares down from the waist. More shards of glass lie on the floor. She holds a small notebook in her left hand, and wears a ring with a stone on her right hand. At top left, glass shatters outward from left to right above her head. On the wall or surface behind are faint elemental symbols.
