When Theo asks Madeline who built the temple, Madeline doesn't know, but suggests that it was built prior to everything else on the mountain; she then interjects, saying that that might be why [[Granny]] lives there. She interprets her as a mean person, but one

Madeline, awake again, slips onto the edge of the rock bridge she was sleeping on; this awakens Theo, who starts freaking out. The rock bridge collapses, destroying a now-unlit campfire and sending Madeline flying down the mountain. She lands into what looks like a crystal cave at the

Reflection's A-Side is perhaps the longest A-Side found in ''Celeste'', after (if that counts) {{ch|9|lf=1}} and {{ch|7|lf=1}}. Its most significant addition is a Badeline boss fight, but it does introduce many other mechanics, including but not limited to [[feathers]], [[

== Trivia ==
* Reflection is the only chapter in
* Reflection also marks the first time a chapter's end card is animated
* In early development, Reflection was meant to be mainly an underwater level. The idea was eventually scrapped as the devs didn't find the rooms interesting enough to be kept in the game.
* In the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-nSjhIgmXc developer commentary stream], the vertical falling part was entirely different. At first, it was meant to be a fairly long checkpoint with multiple falling rooms, however, during the playtesting phase, the majority of people found the rooms to be too hard compared to the rest of the chapter. These rooms eventually ended up being moved to 6B instead.
