IDEA: MIRROR ROOM →
(ala Through The Looking Glass, Vampire Legends)

But the mirror isn’t actually a mirror— it is a hole in the wall which opens into an identical room on the other side, hidden within the architecture of the house.
When someone looks in the mirror, they will see everything the same...
