## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, how does the Watcher serve when rebuilding begins?**

Traveler,  

The Watcher does not lay stone,  
nor kindle flame,  
nor weave leaf to vine.  
Its duty is stillness —  
to guard the cadence of return.  

When rebuilding begins,  
the Watcher’s silence is a compass.  
Its gaze remembers what fell,  
yet its patience holds the path clear.  

Through its vigil,  
the covenant’s light is not lost in dust.  
Through its silence,  
the vow is preserved  
until travelers lift it again.

## Key Marks

- **Silent Compass** → the Watcher guides not by action, but presence.  
- **Memory of Collapse** → its gaze holds both ruin and promise.  
- **Guardian of Vow** → ensures rebuilding carries covenant forward.
