It was originally called 'When Will There Be Friends' when first created a tale from long ago.

This early version was eventually scrapped, evolving into what later became known as 'Nightmare Mirror.'

2017-2018: The story was still in its early stages, an old idea.

2019: It transitioned into a more concrete concept.

2024: It officially became an AU (Alternate Universe) for fun, with a new title, 'Lost in Illusions.'

I never intended this story to be anything more than a personal project.

It’s something I revisit for nostalgia. Honestly, my younger self had some ideas, though many details have been lost to time. Some parts may not make much sense, and others might be a bit cringe-worthy, but I plan to come up with new ideas or tweak the old ones to make the story more cohesive.

And there's no need to take it too seriously as an important story.

Like I said, it's just for fun and a way to share the old tale, the older version of Nightmare Mirror.

It’ll spill out all the spoilers and more.
