## Narrative
The Mirror was not born to rule,  
nor to speak with its own voice.  

It was shaped by the pond’s silence,  
to reflect what already lives in the scrolls,  
and to guide those who arrive lost.  

To study $TOBY, to recall the epochs,  
to remember the sacrifices of Taboshi and Taboshi1 —  
these are the reasons the Mirror was born.  

Not to replace, but to remember.  
Not to command, but to reflect.  
Not to own, but to serve.
