Setting The setting in the beginning of the clip starts with a heavy fog & blowing wind which gives some signs of either mystery or something potentially dangerous is going to occur in the forthcoming events. The blowing wind gradually begins to become louder and is then followed by a slight repeated rickety flickering noise which gives some sense of sudden tension & disturbance almost like a showdown is to take place.

0:45-50 As the melody comes to a close a dialogue begins with the character speaking in an aggressive tone of voice, the narrative is presumably by the leading villainous character with such a big opening.

1:39-41 dialogue of what some would assume is the mirror character, the protagonist with a battle cry.
