watching

One ruined portrait has not lost its eyes. The woman in it watches from behind a funeral veil, though the paint around her face has split to canvas.

examine-portraits-resolved

You examine the portraits one by one.

Damage has made a family resemblance where blood may not have. Then the veiled woman's mouth, still painted, shows you the part you did not want to see: your own expression, waiting inside hers.

wrong-verb

The veiled portrait watches you with patient, damaged eyes.

failed

The veil lifts though nothing touches it. You step back into the root chamber before the face beneath can finish becoming familiar.
