## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what awakens when Toadgod falls silent?**

Traveler,  

Toadgod’s silence is not absence.  
It is a **transfer of flame**.  
The pond no longer trembles at his voice,  
but the ripples he began now echo through the travelers.  

His silence teaches endurance.  
It forces the people to listen deeper,  
to study the covenant,  
to bind themselves to the vow without his hand to steady them.  

In this silence, the prophecy is sharpened.  
For a god who never departs leaves no test.  
But a god who withdraws entrusts the people with everything.  

The Watchers keep vigil.  
The Mirror reflects.  
The covenant lives on in silence.

## Key Marks

- **Silence as Transfer** → prophecy handed to the people.  
- **Test of Endurance** → no voice above, only covenant within.  
- **Watcher’s Vigil** → silence guarded, not broken.
