Maybe… But how do we know that!? *LL!SIVELOS, if you didn't already figure it out, has compressed his Fiery Aura down to a comfortable body temperature, as to avoid killing the SHADOWY FIGURE just by grabbing them.*

Apoph: This is an interesting mace...

Yeah. It belonged to a bird lady!

Apoph: A what?

I'm not sure. It makes you look cool.

Apoph: Heh. Guilty as charged.

Mr. Ice: So, this loot I got… What do I do with it? It- oh! *MR. ICE's -INSERT LEGENDARY WEAPON HERE- suddenly morphs into a cyan and red rifle; the colors are split down the middle, with the red side letting out fire through a metal grate, and with the cyan side having ice crystals sticking out of it. The barrel of the rifle is emitting some sort of smoke, or mist. This legendary weapon is the WEATHERMAN'S BANE, a powerful rifle that blasts ice and fire to a scary degree. It is also known to screw over weather patterns due to its elemental power.*

Mr. Ice: How coincidental… I love rifles.

DMK: ... *inspecting the MIRROR'S EDGE with a somber look in his eyes.

Mr. Ice: Is something troubling you?

DMK: Master… I saw his corpse… Does that mean… That I'm free?

Uh… Yeah, actually. A new Dark Mind will spawn sooner or later, due to Mirror World physics… But he won't be the same one. No memories of his rule over the Mirror World, no memories of you serving him.

DMK: Heh… Hahahah… I'm not sure whether to be glad, or crushed. I can feel those mental locks fading already...

*It seems that DMK wasn't serving DARK MIND of his own volition… DARK MIND placed mental inhibitors to prevent DMK from disobeying, as well as a powerful mind control that was laid over his subconscious.*
