163. With her hand on her hip, purse pressed tightly to her side, she snapped out in Russian, “Почему всегда так долго ждать в этих магазинах? Всё тянут — невозможно!”—"Why is it always so slow in these stores? Everyone drags things out—it's impossible!"
164. As she said this, she lined herself up directly with Jacob, who hovered unseen by the end of the aisle.
165. Suddenly, Jacob’s vision went utterly black.
166. He heard nothing: not the chatter, the music, nor the distant beep of registers.
167. Jacob’s mind felt like it was tumbling through a void.
168. He drifted in this emptiness for what felt like minutes, though it could've been moments.
169. Slowly, the world began to fade back in.
170. Sound trickled back: the scrape of shoes, the distant hum of voices.
171. Colors and shapes returned—he found himself staring at the floor.
172. Gradually, Jacob realized he was standing in the very spot where Galina had been.
173. His left hand rested comfortably on his hip.
174. There was the slight pull of a purse strap against his shoulder.
175. A strange heaviness adorned his fingers and wrists.
176. Confusion washed over him in a dizzying wave.
177. “Ей! Ты! Что ты там стоишь?!” a shout pierced his foggy thoughts.
178. The voice was Darya’s—she was yelling directly at him, but it felt impossibly strange.
179. Jacob blinked rapidly, glancing around in panic.
180. "Где ты, Галина? Ты куда делась?!" Darya called even more insistently, now undeniably in his direction.
181. Jacob’s head spun: why was she yelling at him? Where was Galina?
182. He pressed his hand to his chest, shaking.
183. The feeling was all wrong: the shape, the curve, the weight of unfamiliar jewelry and fabric.
184. Jacob’s mind reeled as Darya's voice became shrill.
185. "Почему ты не отвечаешь, Галина!?" she cried, the anger morphing into worry.
186. Jacob, terrified, wondered where the oldest woman had gone.
187. He spun around, searching the wide aisle for any hint of her.
188. All he saw now was himself—standing in the exact position Galina had stood.
189. But his arms and legs, shrouded in an emerald green dress, didn't feel like his own.
190. Looking down, he saw the shimmering fabric, the slingback shoes on unfamiliar feet.
191. The urge to scream rose in his throat, but nothing would come out.
192. His mind rebelled at the impossible truth.
193. Maybe—just maybe—he was still himself under this strange, foreign outfit and shoes.
194. He squeezed his eyes shut, telling himself over and over: it’s just clothes, just someone else’s clothes, I'm still me underneath, nothing else changed.
195. If he walked to a mirror, he would see his reflection—Jacob’s face looking back, not Galina’s.
196. He would tell himself this as many times as needed to believe.
197. In his peripheral vision, he spotted a large mirror propped in an alcove.
198. It was angled away; from here, the glass reflected only the far wall.
199. Jacob steeled himself, refusing to glance at his hands, his fingers, or the hem of his dress.
200. Swallowing his dread, he made his way slowly to the mirror, feeling the strange bite of slingback heels at each step.
201. He dare not look left or right—all his focus was forward.
202. The air seemed thicker with every shuffling stride.
203. At last, he stood just a few feet from the glass.
204. His back was to the mirror.
205. He squeezed his eyes tightly closed, afraid of the truth.
206. His heart beat thunderously in his ears.
207. “Okay. Ten… nine… eight…” he counted in his mind.
208. “Seven… six… five…” he inhaled shaky breaths.
209. “…four… three… two… one.”
210. Jacob slowly turned to face the mirror, eyes still clamped shut.
211. He stood sweating, breath uneven, praying for his own reflection.
212. Finally, he opened his eyes.
213. In the mirror, sapphire eyes stared back—Galina’s.
214. Pale, elegant features, silver-blonde hair in a chignon, a shimmer of emerald silk.
215. Nothing, not one trace, of Jacob’s own face remained.
216. Fear spiked inside him; his worst nightmare come to life.
217. If he could have screamed, he would have collapsed into sobs.
218. Jacob’s trembling hand lifted, hesitantly touching the unfamiliar face in the mirror.
219. The skin was soft, alien.
220. The contours were not his: the arch of cheekbones, the sweep of lashes, the glossy lips.
221. Tears welled in his alien eyes.
222. A wobbly, broken sound left his lips.
223. He managed, in shuddering, unintelligible English: “W-whaat h-happn d-d m m-meee?”
224. His tongue felt clumsy as he added, “Wh-why c-c’n’nt I sp-speek Ennglicsh n-nmoar?”
225. The words sounded alien, twisted, as though his own voice could no longer form the language.
226. Jacob stared at the strange woman’s lips in the reflection, moving at his own command but forming sounds that felt wrong.
227. The world continued around him, unaware, uncaring.
228. Galina was gone.
229. Jacob, now forever in her place, stood rooted before the mirror.
230. The emerald silk dress shimmered as he shook.
231. Tears slipped down, silent, carving lines on Galina’s poised face.
232. Light-up sneakers nowhere to be seen.
233. The purse strap bit into his shoulder.
234. Jacob realized the truth—there was no going back.
235. The feeling of strangeness became permanence.
236. Voices echoed in Russian behind him.
237. Jacob could only stare at the mirror, unmoored, his mind splintering with the irrevocable swap.
238. In the mirror, Galina’s face gazed back, forever haunted by Jacob’s blue eyes within.
239. The boy was no more.
240. The swap was permanent.
