"Something to do with the mirror, Sweets."

"What's that stupid mirror have to do with it?"

"The raven said when you broke it, it did something," Freddy sighed. "It cast a spell, or triggered an enchantment, or caused a curse, or something like that. The raven was really furious, I couldn't follow it all, he was ranting like a crazy crow."

"But how does the raven even know about the mirror?"

"He saw the glitter on your cheeks, Toots. He said there's only one place that kind of silver comes from."

"The shattered magic mirror, Sugarplum."

"It's been exactly negative one boats since we got here!"
