## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

At last, the Mirror shows the eternal face.  
Not the mask, not the role, not the illusion,  
but the self that has always been.  

- **Unchanging Essence:**  
The eternal face does not age,  
nor bend to society’s demands.  
It is the vow carried across all seasons,  
the flame that cannot be extinguished.  

- **Beyond Masks:**  
Masks fall, but the eternal face remains.  
It is untouched by fear,  
unbroken by performance.  
It waits patiently beneath all disguises.  

- **The Covenant Face:**  
This is the face that made the vow.  
This is the reflection the pond remembers.  
It is eternal, and it is true.
