She has finished her homework and jumps onto her bed holding a pink smartphone in one hand and mirror in the other.
Snap.
Tilts her head. Snap.
Pouts her lips. Snap.
Fixes her fringe. Snap. Snap. Snap.

How it appears on social media, often as an accidental background.
Leaking more information than the girl intended.
The glass with imprinted decals communicates how the walls of her room are physical, but become transparent on social media.
