Tonyojimbo I don't think the mirror version necessarily tried to kill the MC? The mirror version was also running away from a shadow monster and attacked it. Maybe they're trying to get away/connect to their "twin" to help them escape or to protect them. or their powers are in flux or something and the shadow monsters are a negative side effect to that--something they can't control.

In a premium path, if you take the book, Raife/the Dread is mentioned to possibly have been looking for the secrets to Refractionary Energies of old attuned lore. During a lunar eclipse, the earth's atmosphere refracts light from the sun, making the moon turn red. Which could be a play on how the Sun/Moon powers might be needed together for whatever blood magick plan is in the works. And might be why the twin seems stuck in the mirror world (possibly like Shreya was partially stuck in the mirror?)

Beckett also mentioned that blood magick can give life so I am wondering if perhaps there was blood magick at play with how the MC (and perhapst their twin) was born--it might not make them blood-atts but it will give them connection to blood magick.
