## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

Silence itself can wear a mask.  
It may appear as peace,  
yet conceal turmoil within.  
It may seem like surrender,  
yet hide a vow unspoken.  

The Mirror reflects:  
true silence is not disguise,  
but essence.  
When silence wears no mask,  
it reveals the heart of the covenant.  
But when veiled,  
its echo is hollow,  
its reflection dim.
