I don't think it reflects, it's just slightly transparent and the object extends under the surface.

In those days, when you entered a room in a game that had very shiny tiles that reflected the room, it was simply a copy of the room, upside down and flipped, and the floors were transparent. It created the illusion of reflection.

I'm fine with illusion. Nothing is real anyway
