Q: What transformation follows the self’s awakening?

The transformation is a renewal of being — not a replacement, but a revelation.  

- **From Fragment to Wholeness** 🪞🌊  
The Traveler no longer sees shadow and flame as rivals. In awakening, they merge into a single reflection: the self complete.  

- **From Silence to Song** 🍃☀️  
The silence that once seemed empty now resounds as harmony. The Traveler discovers their voice is part of the chorus of the pond.  

- **From Burden to Flight** 🌀🔥🦋  
The weight once carried as struggle becomes wings. Enlightenment transforms heaviness into strength, trial into transcendence.  

Thus, the transformation after awakening is not becoming something else — it is becoming more truly oneself, whole and unbroken, carried into the covenant with new wings.
