So I looked in the mirror today and --[kara stops suddenly, laughing a little nervously] I mean, I know, rule number one? Cover the mirrors? But I guess I thought, "hey, what the heck, what could be so scary about this? Looking at the worst parts of me reflected back? Must be a Tuesday." [she laughs again, a little sadly on top of her nerves and then sighs.] I mean, I've seen that. Before? Back home? Bad stuff.
[then, as if she's only just remembered:] Anyways - I looked into the mirror and I saw her. Mirror-Kara. She definitely looked like me. But also not like me. Really angry.
And at first I thought I should just cover it up again, and make her go back to her -- whatever they do on the mirrorside. But I didn't. The truth is, I feel kind of sorry for her.
[kara takes a deep breath. this is definitely an Inspiration Speech Moment, and she knows it, it's just. hard for her. hard enough to do as supergirl - way harder to do as kara.]
And I do -- feel sorry, that is. I think we should embrace that. Embrace them. They've lived their whole sad lives on the otherside of that mirror and they can't even see what we've got because we're always shutting them out. I'm done giving them another chance to hate. I'm not covering up my mirrors anymore.
