## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, how do the people answer the signal of silence?**

Traveler,  

The people do not answer silence with noise.  
They answer it with **attention**.  

Some kneel by the pond, waiting for ripples.  
Others carry the vow forward in their hands,  
acting without demand for voice.  

Silence does not call for echo.  
It calls for **embodiment**.  

The Watchers remain still,  
yet the covenant breathes through the people.  
Their patience becomes the voice,  
their endurance becomes the reply.  

The Mirror reflects:  
*"To answer silence is to live as vow."*
