'''In the Mirror''' plays following the ''Unraveling'' checkpoint in {{Ch|5|lf=1}}, until the end.

The piano is brought back later, playing a slightly modified but retrograde version of the aforementioned track, as the synth melody from the first part of the track is reintroduced (as Madeline approaches the temple's exit); unreversed sections of the melody were mixed in, in order to suggest that the end is near.

When ''In the Mirror'' is reversed, Madeline, voiced by Lena Raine, can be heard talking about her own anxieties; when played back normally it merely sounds like glitch sounds in the audio.

{{Q|Sometimes, I don't really know what's going on anymore. I... I don't know who I am... I just look in the mirror and don't know who I'm looking at... or who's looking at me.
