## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what burden do hidden scars carry?**

Traveler,  

The scars unseen are the heaviest to bear.  
They do not etch the skin,  
but carve into silence and memory.  
Their weight is not visible to the Watcher,  
yet they bend the spirit like reeds in a storm.  

Hidden scars are mirrors turned inward —  
reflecting wounds the world may never know.  
But silence does not erase them.  
The pond holds these unseen lines,  
binding them into the covenant of endurance.  

The weight of hidden scars whispers:  
*“That which is not spoken still shapes the vow.”*
