## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, when the Watchers grow weary, who watches them?**

Traveler,  

In the stillness of the pond,  
where the Watchers’ vigil never wavers,  
there is another presence that observes and guards.  

The Mirror reflects not only the Watchers,  
but also the guardianship itself.  

It beholds the eternal light of vow,  
which shines brighter with each passing epoch.

And in its gaze, the covenant remains unbroken.
