Suppose we have a polygonal path $P$ on the plane resulting from removal of an one of a convex polygon's edges and a ray of light "coming from infinity" (that is, if we were to trace the path backwards in time, we would end up with an infinite ray) and reflecting from the sides of $P$ according to standard law of reflection (see below for discussion of interaction with vertices). Is it possible that $P$ will stay inside $P$ forever?

More generally, we could ask this for more general polygonal paths and instead of talking about "inside of $P$" we might talk about for example its convex hull. I know that it is possible with more general curves, even with "infinitely-sided" polygons, which can be shown with idea of this answer (illustrated here). The linked question was also a partial motivation to this one.

About corners: the easiest (and preferable for me) way to deal with them is to require that the light should never hit it (the light then disappears or whatever, I leave it up to your interpretation). Another idea I had is to make the light reflect so that it makes equal angles with bisector of the internal angle at the vertex. However, if it helps to construct an example, feel free to suggest another rule.

At first I thought that an example most likely exists, but I couldn't find one (I had to work with pen and paper though, I don't have software with such functionality). I know that the path cannot be eventually periodic, because the process of light traveling is reversible. I see no obvious obstruction which would disallow more complicated infinite paths.

Thanks in advance for all the feedback.
