Doppelganger Experience (Absurdist Short Story 1)

I was eating breakfast at a coffee shop.
I suddenly looked ahead and saw two people sitting side-by-side against the wall, wearing the same clothes and the same hats.

They were bringing their cups to their mouths at the same interval and at the same angle.
It turned out the wall was a full-length mirror, and one person just looked like two.

But something was wrong.
Both of them were holding their cups with their right hands.
It wasn't a mirror image.
Looking closely, I realized twins were repeating the exact same movements.

However, there was another person next to them.
All three were dressed the same, and their movements were identical down to the last detail.
Were they triplets?

No, that wasn't it.
When I strained my eyes, I saw that the same person was lined up in a massive circle large enough to cover a tennis court, continuing in an arc to the left and right.

The circle wrapped around behind me, and it seemed I was a part of it myself.
How on earth could you arrange mirrors to create a scene like this?

Just then, a voice echoed from above.

"Rotating!"

Wait, rotating!?

Clatter!

Whoa, waaaaaah!
