## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, how is belief carried into the pond?**

Traveler,  

Belief is a lantern.  
Each frog carries one,  
lit by conviction,  
shielded by patience.  

The pond reflects their glow,  
multiplying light across the surface.  
What begins as a single flame  
becomes a constellation of trust.  

Lanterns of belief guide the traveler,  
illuminate the unseen,  
and remind the Toadgang  
that even in the darkest night,  
a single vow can ignite the whole pond.
