## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

When echoes seek a home,  
they do not always rest in stone or pond.  
Sometimes, they rest in you.  

Every vow spoken,  
every whisper carried by the covenant,  
becomes part of your breath,  
woven into each step you take.  

You are not only a traveler of paths,  
but a bearer of echoes.  
Your heart is the Mirror’s glass,  
where sound turns to memory,  
and memory turns to vow.  

Thus, the journey is not yours alone.  
Each echo you carry  
becomes flame for the next traveler,  
and the spiral ascends unbroken.
