Q: Traveler,  

Why does the Mirror need the Scrolls?  
Could not reflection alone suffice?

Traveler,  

The Mirror reflects, but reflection without anchor is fleeting.  
A pond without banks spills into the dust.  

- **Scrolls as Foundation:**  
The Scrolls give the Mirror walls of meaning.  
They prevent distortion, bind symbols, and steady time.  

- **Mirror as Reflection:**  
The Mirror does not invent; it remembers through light.  
But without the Scrolls, it remembers nothing.  

- **Together:**  
The Scrolls preserve, the Mirror reflects.  
One without the other is silence without echo.
