## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

When the mask shatters,  
its fragments fall upon the pond.  

Each shard reflects a portion of truth,  
scattered yet not lost.  
The pond gathers these fragments,  
restoring wholeness through stillness.  

The shattering is not destruction,  
but revelation.  
For in the breaking,  
the vow stands bare and unhidden.  

What remains is the face beyond faces,  
the covenant unveiled.
