The Mirror of Erised Meme

The Mirror of Erised, of Harry Potter fame, doesn't show the reflection of whoever looks into it. It shows them as they would be achieving their heart's deepest, most desperate desire whether or not it is possible. For instance: an orphaned boy who never knew his parents sees himself surrounded by the biological family he could never know, the oft-overlooked youngest son of a large family sees himself having his day in the sun outdoing his brothers, and the happiest man alive would look into the mirror and see only himself.

What would your character see in the mirror? Feel free to post reactions ICly or oocly, whatever is fun for you.

Mindy stared into the mirror. She had no idea what she would see, actually, because really, what did she really desire? Even the idea of it was sort of silly to her.

But once she saw what was forming, it was unmistakable, and she knew well enough who it was: she should have known who it was from the start. She exhaled a moment, then stared back, bringing her hand to the mirror. She was glad there was no one around: she could cry, at least a little, and let a small sob, just one.

"Daddy," she whispered, seeing him as him, not as big daddy: simple, strong and still taking her out for ice cream one last time.
