"Oof, low blow man," Not-Kyle says as he keels over.
"OOOWWWWWW," Orphan Molly cries out as Kyle steps on her wrist. She definitely loses her grip on Molly, but she begins to cry. Do you feel even MORE terrible, Kyle? You made a little mirror girl cry.
Molly looks at her mirror self in shock, not at what Kyle did, but at just how sad she looks. Yes, she had just been trying to horror movie Molly into a mirror, but at the same time...it was her. But lonely and sad. And looking at her, Molly felt that feeling inside her, and it made her puff out a sad little sigh. So she crawls over and hugs her Orphan self. Orphan Molly clings to her, not trying to drag her anywhere for the moment. It's definitely not a horror movie thing to do, but Molly thought it was important to not do the expected thing right now. This was weird, and she remembered Alex - jerk that he was - saying that if you felt an opponent was trying to push you in a certain direction, do the unexpected to throw them off their game. He'd been a jerk, but a smart tactical jerk.
Kyle's battle is a little different, though. The violence is more real, but it's also something of a distraction from what really matters. Would Kyle pick up on it? Not-Kyle was cutting off his air, but was also crying with frustration. He kept muttering about how Kyle needed to get back in the mirror, how he couldn't let the fake Kyle out into the world. People needed to see the true Kyle. They needed to know the truth of him.
