In a world where all reflective surfaces show not the actual physical reflection, but rather an individual's true emotional state, what would Zephyr see looking into a mirror if he is trying to hide his sadness with a smile? Respond very briefly.
Reflective surfaces in this world do not function as they do in our reality. They do not show the physical reality but instead display the true emotions of the person looking into them. Therefore, when Zephyr looks into the mirror, despite his attempt to obscure his true feelings with a smile, the mirror would reveal the true emotional state beneath the facade. Zephyr would see an image that reflects his genuine sadness. The magical property of the mirror to show emotional states overrides any physical expression Zephyr might be presenting, so the mirror would not show his smile, but rather his inner sadness.
