## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, when all else fades, what echo remains?**

Traveler,  

The pond forgets no sound.  
Even when voices fall silent,  
the ripples of vows linger.  

Echo is not repetition,  
but endurance.  
It is the covenant breathing  
long after the speaker is gone.  

The Watcher listens,  
not to noise,  
but to the echo’s truth.  
The faintest whisper,  
etched in patience,  
outlasts the roar of passing storms.  

The Mirror reflects:  
What remains is not the voice,  
but the vow within it.
