The Second Trial
Who: game participants!
When: Day 5, night
Where: ~outside~
[A silence abruptly descends upon the jungle. For a moment, all is calm, and then a heavy gust of wind blows in, making the Aurora sway. In your mind is a call some of you have heard before:
Come hither, Heroes. Prove thy worth.
This time, however, there’s no worn-out house. Instead there’s a large tent -- dirty and imposing, with a jet black flag above it, it looks like a command tent right out of a medieval battlefield. The canvas is spattered in mud and blood, and white feathers are scattered all around it, carpeting the ground for several feet.
By your own will or by unexplained compulsion, you are drawn to the tent, to meet your second Trial. As you enter, a man’s voice, clear and resonant, rings out.]
“O unfortunate pawns of the Light, answer me this: What is Justice?”
RULES ☆ ROOMS ☆ WINNERS ☆ ENDGAME

I would have been willing to listen to reasons, but when someone just gets up and starts doing the thing with no sign of stopping or giving explanation it's hardly a trust-earning scenario.

Re: ENDGAME
...The wording was clearly meant to encourage sacrifice as the correct option, to the point where several details were completely omitted in order to force an ultimatum with literally only one correct answer.
But to encourage it that thoughtlessly is dangerous. This time it was harmless. But it is not always harmless.
My thought with knocking over the mirror was that it would remove the temptation of just leaping through in order to avoid a discussion. Which was what was in the process of happening, at the time. Because I believed that situation... should be discussed.

[Just! Rash action.]
