A light ray in air approaches a system consisting of two flat mirrors joined at a right angle (\(90^\circ\)), as shown in the diagram. The light ray strikes Mirror 1 at an arbitrary angle of incidence \(\theta\) relative to the surface normal, where \(0^\circ < \theta < 90^\circ\), and subsequently reflects off Mirror 2. Which statement correctly describes the relationship between the direction of the light ray after its second reflection and its initial incoming direction before the first reflection, along with the correct reasoning?
