Subject: D-24054

Procedure: The item is attached to a wall opposite the subject, six meters distant.

Purpose: Visual perception testing. The subject is to examine the object.

Researcher Esaw S████: Please enter the testing area and describe what you see.

D-24054: Ok. White, padded room like a loony bin. Mirror on the opposite side. *pauses* Jesus H Christ, is that the back of my head? That’s a laugh! Aw shit, am I really going that bald back there? How does it do that? Is there a camera?

Subject turns and waves where video equipment might be assumed. It is noted that, while the form in the mirror does wave in concert with the subject, the turn stops after showing only a small amount of cheek, eyebrow and chin. The rest of the face remains unseen.

D-24054: Huh, that’s pretty spiffy.

Researcher Esaw: Please walk towards the mirror.

The subject does so, though slowing his pace and eventually stopping at three meters.

D-24054: Hey, you did pretty good, but there’s something wrong with it. It just doesn’t look right.

Researcher Esaw: Please describe what you mean.

D-24054: Like, yeah, it moves when I do (subject raises an arm) and stuff, but the face is wrong.

Researcher Esaw: In what way? How do you know if you can’t see it?

D-24054: Look, I just know, ok? Just where my cheek cuts off, there’s like a bad air. Christ, it’s getting worse the more I’m looking at it. Good job, but back to the drawing board.

Researcher Esaw: Please continue walking towards the mirror.

D-24054: Fuck you.

Researcher Esaw: Just one more meter, please.

D-24054: Fuck, fine, but only a couple more feet.

Subject takes a few steps before turning and walking away.

D-24054: Fuck, fuck, no. Nope. I’m done. That shit’s too freaky. Let me out.

The subject is allowed to leave the testing area. The increasing panic state corroborates with Agent █████, who was present at the procurement of the item at the ██████ Flea Market.
