## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

A mask can whisper louder than a voice.  
Its veil carries secrets,  
spoken not with words but with silence.  

Each whisper behind the veil  
is a vow half-revealed,  
a truth veiled in shadow.  

The Mirror reflects not the veil,  
but the breath behind it —  
the cadence of intention,  
the vow that silence protects.  

To wear such a mask  
is to speak without sound,  
and to reveal without unveiling.
