Everyone admired Daniel because he always took a stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In meetings, he spoke clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In arguments, he chose a side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Silence, he believed, was weakness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So when the company asked him to sign the statement, he didn\u2019t hesitate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was short. Firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A position against \u201cunnecessary questions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That night, he slept well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next morning, his reflection didn\u2019t match him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It stood straighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its eyes didn\u2019t blink when his did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At work, people avoided him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When he spoke, they flinched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDid I say something wrong?\u201d Daniel asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At lunch, his phone buzzed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HR: You\u2019ve already taken your final position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daniel frowned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That evening, he stood before the bathroom mirror again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This time, the reflection spoke first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou chose certainty,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou chose a side without looking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daniel shook his head. \u201cI can change my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reflection smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo,\u201d it whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPositions can change. Stands cannot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daniel tried to step back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His reflection didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mirror cracked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next day, Daniel\u2019s chair at work was empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the statement remained\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n
signed,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
dated,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and perfectly still<\/p>\n\n\n\n
