Ok um. The your mom joke valentine actually unlocked something in me and, upon remembering Sans' similar joke and physics books, I suddenly put two and two together that wait a minute... if the reflection/mirrors motif is true... and the nested fiction theme is true...

“mise en abyme, literally “placement in abyss,” is a formal technique of placing a copy of an image within itself, often in a way that suggests an infinitely recurring sequence. In film theory and literary theory, it refers to the technique of inserting a story within a story.”
“A common sense of the phrase is the visual experience of standing between two mirrors, seeing as a result an infinite reproduction of one’s image.”
