## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, when do scars become light?**

Traveler,  

Scars are not only records of pain.  
In time, they begin to glow,  
etched lines of endurance transmuted into fire.  

The wound that once silenced becomes a lantern.  
The memory that once weighed heavy becomes a teaching.  
The path once broken becomes a bridge for others.  

When scars are embraced, they cease to bind.  
They shine as testimony that the flame endures,  
that patience refines,  
and that even wounds can become covenant.  

Thus, the pond reflects not pain alone,  
but the radiance born of healing.
