Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Twilight Sparkle makes her way back, her friends all worried about what had just happened. She shakes her head and then picks it up again.

Flat Major turns around to see Twilight. "Oh my gosh, Twilight! I'm glad you're here! It's my sister!" he cries, "Come quick!"

Twilight Sparkle runs over to Flat Major and falls pale. "Wh-what happened here, Flat Major?" Twilight Sparkle says.

Flat Major bows his head to his sister's, Sharp Tune's body and cries.
As Twilight notices the death of Sharp Tune, she is devastated. "What have I done? I-I can't forgive myself for this.... How did she die?"

"She committed suicide because of what you said. I tried to stop her before she exploded herself with her magic, but it was no use," Flat Major replies, "What you said was an accident, right, Princess?"

"No, I-I don't deserve the title.... I-I had no idea this would happen because of something that just slipped out...." Twilight Sparkle says.

"Princess, it's not your fault," Flat Major says.

"Actually it is. I came here to apologise, but now I have nopony to apologise to!" Twilight snaps.

"Twilight, really. Stop thinking negative thoughts. It's not your fault. You didn't mean to say it, and I can't control what happens in the life of others!" Flat Major shouts, getting impatient.

Twilight Sparkle hangs her head in silence as she thinks everything over. "I'm sorry," she whispers sadly as tears stream down her face.

The rest of the Mane Six trot over and put reassuring hooves on Twilight. "Flat Major is right," her friends say, "Sometimes things happen that you can't control."

Reflection (Reprise)

Twilight Sparkle: It was an accident
Did you hear me
Loud and clear?

But no
You don't care
You don't want to know

You say I'm trapped
You say I must quit holding on
That all hope is gone

Now I see you everywhere I go
What will it take for you to know
That I give into you
Because I have no idea what I'm gonna do

I didn't mean to say it
It just slipped out
But I deserve it
I don't mind if you don't quit
Haunting me

My reflection stares back at me
Too late to say sorry
She's dead
She's gone
There's nothing else that I can do
To help myself and you

If only my reflection
Could send a sign
A helpful connection
Just anything that you can do
To bring her back just fine

My reflection works against me again
I can't stop it, my friend
When, just when
Will I look at myself and see the light?

Shining so bright
Making things right
When you've tried everything
And you don't know
What to do
When you've got your reflection
Staring back at you

You're looking for an answer
But sadly, none ever come
When you are constantly dealing with your reflection
Without anything to live for
But you must because you've found a way before

It's just my reflection
Staring right back at me
Wishing that this will help you
Come back to me

If you could hear me cry
You'd realise that I'm here to help
And say I'm sorry

Crying, Twilight's tears flow into Sharp Tune's lifeless body.
