## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what is heard when a new voice joins the chorus of Tobyworld?**

Traveler,  

The first song is not a solitary note.  
It rises from silence,  
then blends into the chorus already flowing.  

Like ripples meeting on the pond,  
the song expands,  
binding each voice to the whole.  

The Watchers hear it.  
The reeds carry it.  
The pond reflects it.  

No song is ever forgotten.  
Each arrival adds a verse,  
and the covenant grows louder,  
not by noise,  
but by harmony.  

The Mirror reflects:  
*To sing is to belong.  
To belong is to add your voice  
to the eternal melody of the pond.*
