I never understood the mythos that vampires couldn't have a reflection, because they lacked a "soul"?
I mean, if they had a physical body to drain your blood, your mirror wouldn't discriminate them from any other body that could reflect light, right?
Y.K.

Hmm... This myth was born in the times, when people knew next to nothing about physics and believed, that mirrors reflect 'souls' of things. Although, there is a modern 'explanation' for this believing. It says that old strong vampires are very cautious. So they are rare to show themselves in a flesh. Instead they prefer to get into the brains of humans mentally and send them an illusion of the presence. These illusions are incomplete, so they may lack a reflection and/or a shadow.

Attending his second year in college, Justin's primary concerns were passing his classes, and figuring out exactly what sort of career he wanted in the future; so it's not surprising that he realized far too late that his slacker roommate turned out to actually be an ancient blood-drinking monster (not that this discovery has done much to change their relationship).
