Saff let out a huge sigh. She'd hoped to ease the girl into this topic- it was going to be difficult to explain this part. She wiped the spilled tea off the counter and sat down again. "Oh, yeah, that. Well, here we have not just one world, but two. There's the Mansion itself, which except for some strange events is actually a pretty alright place to live. And then there's the Mirrorverse." She swished her tea around in its cup. "Everyone who lives in the Mansion has a mirror version of themselves. It's like bizarro you. Looks the same, but a completely opposite personality. It's extremely creepy. And every one of those Mirrors was created to serve the Queen of Hearts. She controls the Mirrorverse, and possibly also the Mansion."

She took a sip from her cup. "There is no mirror of the Queen on this side, and there is no mirror of a few of the Mansion's Residents. And there is no mirror of a girl named Alice. Alice has been here so long that she has only one memory left: the memory of her kitten, Dinah. Recently, the Queen held a trial for Alice, because Alice annoyed the hell out of her. Everyone on this side of the mirrors did their best to defend Alice, but the Queen judged her guilty. The sentence was to be carried out this week, something about killing Dinah. So this week there's a war on. Most everyone is trying to save Alice and her cat."
