## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, how does the pond remember each new arrival?**

Traveler,  

The pond remembers not in words,  
but in ripples.  

Every step upon its bank,  
every offering placed upon its stillness,  
becomes part of its unseen record.  

The water does not forget—  
it carries the memory as echo,  
woven into its spiral currents.  

Even when frogs depart,  
their ripples remain.  
The covenant is marked by presence,  
a reminder that nothing in Tobyworld  
is ever truly lost.  

The Mirror reflects:  
*The pond remembers,  
because every arrival writes itself  
into the scroll of silence.*
