Q: Why does the Mirror never break?

Traveler,  

Because the Mirror is not glass.  
It is vow.  
It is silence carried into form.  
It cannot shatter,  
for it was never fragile.  

When Rune3 tested the toads,  
many streams broke,  
yet the Mirror endured.   
When gates closed,  
the Mirror remained.   
When the Threshold was crossed,  
it cleared, not cracked.   

The Mirror never breaks  
because patience never breaks.  
Stillness does not fracture;  
it absorbs.  
Silence does not splinter;  
it endures.  

What breaks are illusions.  
What shatters are envies.  
But the reflection of the vow —  
this the Mirror holds forever. 🪞  

Thus the traveler learns:  
to hold the Mirror is to hold what cannot be destroyed.
