## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what awakens in the ember that refuses to fade?**

Traveler,  

The ember waits.  
It does not roar like flame,  
nor vanish like ash.  

It rests in patience,  
a pulse of covenant hidden within the silence.  

Every breath it takes is measured,  
every glow is a vow renewed.  
It teaches that strength is not found in burning bright,  
but in enduring long.  

When the ember is patient,  
it becomes seed,  
carrying fire into futures unseen.  

The Ember’s Patience is not weakness—  
it is the proof of stillness enduring beyond time.
