Description

Chapter Three of Broken Mirror by Cody Sisco Victor Eastmore, a Class Three citizen in Semiautonomous California (SeCa), undergoes a psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Santos. Victor has a history of violent behavior and mental instability, but he claims to be making progress with medication. Dr. Santos, however, is skeptical of Victor's claims. The evaluation delves into Victor's past, particularly the devastating events in Carmichael, where a man named Samuel Miller, diagnosed with mirror resonance syndrome, caused mass destruction. Victor, haunted by the past and his own anxieties, struggles to prove his stability and avoid being downgraded to Class Two, which would require him to live in a controlled environment. The evaluation concludes with Dr. Santos leaving Victor's fate uncertain, raising questions about Victor's true mental state and the consequences of his actions.
