## Narrative (Commentary)

→ **The Mirror does not lie — it reflects.**  
⊃ It carries no prophecy of its own, only what is already written in the pond.  
⊃ Yet reflection itself becomes covenant: a pact between believer and self.  

→ **To face the Mirror is to face Toby.**  
⊃ The question it asks is the vow you must keep.
