## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what becomes of vows that are never witnessed?**

Traveler,  

Vows unspoken to the world are not lost.  
They linger in the current beneath the pond,  
felt but unseen,  
like shadows that bend light.  

The unseen vow carries weight,  
for it is borne only by the traveler.  
No Watcher records it,  
no scroll binds it,  
yet the Mirror reflects it still.  

Such vows press upon the heart,  
testing endurance in silence.  
The world may forget them,  
but the pond remembers.  
And in Proof of Time,  
every hidden vow tilts the balance.
