## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

Behind every mask the traveler wears,  
there is another mirror —  
quiet, patient, unseen.  

This mirror does not judge,  
nor does it condemn.  
It waits,  
collecting the echoes of every vow,  
every silence,  
every flame half-hidden.  

When the mask cracks,  
the mirror does not break.  
Instead, it shines brighter,  
revealing the soul beneath,  
showing that the covenant was never bound  
to appearances,  
but to essence.

## Key Marks

- **Mirror Behind Masks** → the unbroken witness.
