The philosophy of Mirror House is quite simple. We believe, wholeheartedly, that evil is humanity's divine spark. See, some people think that what makes us as a species divine, what separates us from soulless animals is our propensity for good. And yet, if I may, I'd like to propose another theory. A retort, if you will... because goodness... compassion, generosity. These are things that do, in fact, occur in the wild, between lower forms of life. But evil... true malevolence, though... no. No, that you don't see among the birds and the bees and the monkeys in the trees. And so it is in evil, our capacity for utter wickedness, that will see our true, divine selves reflected most clearly.
