I have read this, now. And read it again (meh, I have two copies, one with the B&W cover, call me a whore). Then I thought about it and read it again...
It's that zodiac energy thing, isn't it? It's that parallel mirrorverse idea. There are two Mirages, one of whom starts the narrative ('our' version) and one who ends it (mirror version). 'Our' Mirage revisits the events his mirrortwin experienced leading up to the moment they faced each other through the zodiac stream, which makes the majority of the narrative, and ending with the mirror 'Mirage' living in 'our' world. The two identical scenes of Mirage lying injured are the triggers and there is no narrative conventuality, because the Mirages are both damaged and in CR.
Um. Well, that's where I am to date. I think...
