You glance toward it at first only to check the angle. A flicker of practicality. But then you linger. The light has pooled across your hipbones and collar. Your mouth is slightly parted. The mirror does not flinch. It does not look away. And it does not lie. The mirror has always been more honest than your lovers. More silent than your family. More present than your God.

There are tools, and then there are instruments. The former populate drawers and dungeon walls, passive until called. But the cane is something older, something ceremonial—something summoned.
