"A dire person duplicates themselves to make their life easier. The Prathibimb has all the qualities of the person themself. Only when a person sees themself in their Prathibimb will they accept their true nature and acknowledge the fact that they are enough. Only then will there be no use for their Prathibimb."

The text made sense to Clare. It was so clear that Clare was confused on how she had not come across this before. The Prathibimb, that is her duplicate, was definitely made by her in her dire state. Perhaps, everyone who uses the Prathilipi was in a dire place. The sentence seemed to be written just for her.

This was what Clare understood from the text:

The Prathilipi flower usually duplicates all the properties of a person, let it be good or bad. But this time, the Prathilipi was rotten, which means it didn't work properly. Instead of duplicating everything, it selectively amplified the deepest darkest parts of Clare. That was what nagged her right now. If it had just amplified her darkest parts, doesn't that mean, deep down, Clare is power hungry too? Doesn't it mean that she actually craves for the throne? That she actually wants to be the queen? She couldn't quite point the finger at it, but none of those sentences seemed to describe Clare. Maybe, she had somehow managed to suppress her dark self so much to a point of its non-existence. Again, that's the point, isn't it. No one can truly get rid of the self they dislike. Just like her Prathibimb said, she can try to physically get her out, but she can never truly get rid of her from her life. 

Clare finally realized that to achieve success, you need not be always good nor be always bad. A perfect balance is required to maintain stability in one's life. Clare's thinking of the safety of the people was necessary, but at the same time, her Prathibimb's drive for power was also required to actually execute what she desires.

It was becoming clear to Clare now. She shouldn't try to get rid of her Prathibimb, she should accept her. But accepting her is going to be tough. Her dark self has finally found an outlet and it might not wish to get bottled up again. Clare promised herself that she will not bottle it up again. She was ready to accept her dark self. 

Now, all she had to do was to face her other part and fight till victory.
