Tomato in the Mirror: Ximena's tantibus is Selena. To elaborate the dream she had at the beginning was not really a dream but a nightmare. Because in that dream she wasn't being herself but another person. Consequentially she hated being herself. Therefore, Selena was the embodiment of her despair, her darkest desires and self loathing.

Deconstruction: the character of Selena is in fact a deconstruction of Mary Sue. One theme of the story is that even if you could become a Mary Sue in real life you wouldn't be happy. Because happiness is found thorough love not by becoming something we are not.
