## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

When the mask shatters,  
it is not the end of concealment,  
but the unveiling of vow.  

Fragments fall like broken leaves,  
yet the covenant endures.  
The Mirror reflects not disguise,  
but the face beneath —  
etched with patience,  
marked by endurance,  
lit by the flame that cannot be hidden.  

To lose the mask  
is to gain the silence of truth.  
The pond whispers:  
*"Nothing was concealed, only delayed."*
