Camera zooms out to show Eda, King, Hooty, Y/n, and Chot-San standing in front of the makeshift portal door, looking at the reflection with bewildered expressions.

King: Do you think she's safe?

Eda: She's made it this far. We just have to trust her.

[Scene zooms in on Luz and Y/n. The window flashes, then both disappear. Scene cuts back to the cubes in the water. One of them starts dimming and returns to its galaxy-like form. Y/n retrieves another cube.]

Y/n: This one might lead us to my parents in the Human Realm!

Chot-San: [Barking excitedly.] WOOF! WOOF!

Luz: Let me focus first. I wonder if I can see... Amity! [Blushes.]

[A cube floats up as soon as Luz finishes speaking.]

Luz: [Realizes what she's doing.] Ah! Ugh! No, no, no! [Pushes the cube down back into the water.] Concentrate, Luz! I need to find Camila Noceda of the Human Realm!

[Luz spots a cube flashing nearby.]

Luz: Got ya! Ice platform!

[Luz slaps a piece of paper with an ice glyph on it, but it fails to activate.]

Luz: [Angered.] Alright, fine then! I'll do this the hard way!

[Both Luz and Y/n jump onto cubes floating upward. The dimension suddenly rotates, causing them to lose balance and tumble downward. Their cubes change position, placing them next to each other again.]

Luz: Mom!

Y/n: Parents!

[Scene cuts to Luz's house. Both Luz and Y/n are reflections inside Luz's mother's smartphone.]

Luz: [Gasps.] It's my house!

[Camera moves to the right. Camila Noceda is seen dancing to music while preparing lunch, occasionally checking her phone.]

Luz: Mom!

Camila: Oh, hello! Need any help?

"Luz": Almost! With all that old stuff gone, I feel like a whole new person.

Luz: [Whispers to Y/n.] Evil doppleganger! Mom! Mom! [Knocks on cellphone's glass.] Mom! Mom!

Camila: I can finish up here, mija.

"Luz": Thanks, Mom! [Runs off to her room.]

[One of the cubes flashes and changes direction.]

Luz: Follow her! We have to figure out why these copies exist!

Y/n: Right beside you, buddy!

[They chase after Luz's double through more reflections until Luz regains control of her emotions.]

Luz: Calm down, Luz. Breathe and count to five. Then, we'll come up with a plan.

[Water splashing noise, a cube emerges, Luz pays attention to it. By her side, Y/n and Chot-San observe curiously. The cube's display flickers, Luz proceeds towards it.]

"Luz" (closing cabinet door, spotting genuine Luz in the reflection.)

Luz (furiously): You!

[Transition to Camila preparing food, hearing "Luz" shouting. Transition back to Luz's bedroom.]

Luz: You can listen to me, huh?

"Luz" (panicked): You're from the Demon Realm.

Luz: Hold on, I just wish to talk—
