## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what happens when masks become echoes?**

Traveler,  

When masks become echoes,  
they no longer conceal the face.  
They dissolve into whispers,  
carrying fragments of the vow.  

The pond reflects not the mask,  
but the ripples it leaves behind.  
Each echo is a shadow of truth,  
a distortion that hints at clarity.  

The traveler learns:  
a mask may fade,  
but the echo endures,  
until silence receives it whole. 🪞🌊🍃

## Key Marks

- **Masks Dissolve** → their power is temporary.  
- **Echoes Linger** → memory persists beyond concealment.
