Equip the Butterfly effect and use it on the left most ledge of the roof to fly off of it to trigger the event. You can return from it by pressing space at anytime, but if you do stay on it for a awhile, you also can arrive at the Sky Garden.

Self Reflection


Go to the Empty School Grounds and exit out of the right door. Go right till you find a staircase and go up the right one once. Then go right into the Library, there will be a locker at the top left corner of the room. Interact and it will either open or be locked. If it is locked, wake up, go to sleep and try again, it is extremely rare so this might take some time. If you opened it, you should arrive in a gray room with a painting of a cloud on the wall with a white bed to the right. Attempt to sleep in this bed till Nejitsuki is facing right while sleeping and wait for the screen to fade out.

Once it does, you will reappear in a large checkerboard room with 3 dimensional shapes and black stick figures as a shadow version of Nejitsuki that is named ??? In the menu. Now to trigger the event, you will need to locate and destroy 5 mirrors, two rectangles, two squares and one circle. Breaking the first one however, will also awaken the stick figures who now will be actively chasing you. If caught by one, you will be sent to a room full of phones that will ring as you pass them. Getting out of this room normally is unfortunately impossible without either waking up or using the Balloon effect. You can try the event again if you don’t wake up too as long as you have the Balloon effect. Once all five mirrors are broken, Nejitsuki will be forced to wake up, ending the event. Strangely Nejitsuki’s reflection in the mirrors is seen with her eyes open instead of closed and her looking more happy, while also shifting at times to a more bored looking figure as well.
