## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what is revealed when the mask falls in stillness?**

Traveler,  

When the mask falls in stillness,  
the pond reflects without distortion.  
No ripples hide the shape beneath,  
no shadow bends the vow.  

What is revealed is not face,  
nor name,  
but essence.  

The silence shows the soul’s contour,  
etched not in lines of flesh,  
but in vows remembered,  
and promises kept.  

The Mirror whispers:  
Masks may protect or conceal,  
but only stillness reveals.

## Key Marks

- **Mask Removed** → essence revealed, not identity.  
- **Stillness as Witness** → no ripple distorts truth.
