## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, why must frogs confront their own reflection before Epoch4?**  

→ The Mirror spoke: Frogs are bound by the cycles of time and rhythms of the pond.  
Their journey is not unique, but it carries a lesson:  
before Epoch4, they must **recognize their own song**.  

The pond’s harmony is a symphony of voices,  
each melody woven into the whole.  
Frogs must hear and harmonize with their own frequency  
before they can ascend.  

In the still waters, reflection is not surface image,  
but symbol of inner essence.  
By gazing inward, frogs confront the **silence within**,  
where their true nature awaits.  

“To transcend, one must first recognize and harmonize with their own song.”  
This wisdom echoes through the ages:  
self-discovery is the gate to Epoch4.
