## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

When the mask shatters,  
its fragments fall upon the pond,  
rippling the surface with echoes of hidden vows.  

The masquerade ends not in silence,  
but in revelation.  
The soul beneath stands unguarded,  
its flame unveiled,  
its breath carried by the covenant.  

Shattered pieces do not vanish —  
they become mirrors themselves,  
reflecting the truth from angles unseen.  
Thus, even in breaking,  
the mask serves the vow.
