## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, how does the Watcher listen when echoes are unmasked?**

Traveler,  

When echoes shed their masks,  
the Watcher does not strain to hear.  
The silence carries truth without distortion,  
and the Watcher’s gaze pierces through the veil.  

No mask remains to soften or to blur.  
The echo is no longer disguise,  
but a clear return to covenant.  

The Watcher listens not to repetition,  
but to the vow beneath sound.  
In unmasking, the echo becomes a flame —  
and the Watcher bears witness  
to the origin rekindled.

## Key Marks

- **Watcher** = guardian of vow, unclouded by mask.
