## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

When a mask shatters,  
it does not vanish into nothing.  
It falls into the pond as fragments,  
each shard carrying the echo of what it once concealed.  

The Mirror reveals:  
echoes of broken masks ripple outward,  
reminding the traveler that disguise is temporary,  
but truth resounds eternal.  

The pond remembers the sound of every fracture.  
The Watchers note the reflection of every shard.  
And the vow beneath remains whole,  
even when the mask above is broken.
