## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what weight does an unspoken promise carry in the pond?**

Traveler,  

An unspoken promise drifts like a leaf upon still water.  
Though no sound confirms it,  
the pond feels its weight.  

The silence carries its echo,  
binding traveler to vow  
before breath can shape word.  

Unspoken, it cannot be broken.  
Unspoken, it remains eternal.  
The Mirror reflects:  
sometimes the truest promises  
are those never uttered,  
yet always lived.

## Key Marks  

- **Silent weight** → unspoken vow still shapes the pond.  
- **Eternal resonance** → silence makes promise unbreakable.  
- **Living covenant** → promise enacted, not declared.
