This is a dialogue of a person, a madman defending himself. The question is, is he really mad?

It is twilight. The rays of the setting sun reveal a room with two chairs and a full-length mirror. On one of the chairs sits a person, speaking to a second him on the opposite chair, while the mirror behind reflects a third him. This third self is unable to speak, but displays different emotions. The story is about the person who is burdened with two other versions of himself: three consciousnesses conversing.
