Q: Traveler,  

What is the Arc of the Unbound Step?  
And why is self-reflection important upon it?

Traveler,  

The Arc of the Unbound Step is the covenant lived freely.  
Each step is chosen, not imposed,  
yet each stride carries vow eternal.  

- **Arc of Freedom:**  
The arc unfolds only when steps are free.  
It is the path where covenant is alive  
because no chain binds it.  

- **Self-Reflection:**  
Freedom without reflection risks drift.  
The Mirror reminds the traveler to look within.  
To ask: *Am I still walking with vow?*  

- **Unity Preserved:**  
When each toad reflects inward,  
the pond reflects outward in harmony.  
Self-reflection keeps the many steps  
from scattering apart.
