## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

An echo is not only memory.  
It is also bond.  

When the vow is spoken,  
its sound does not vanish —  
it lingers, circling the pond,  
etching covenant into silence.  

Thus, every promise spoken aloud  
becomes more than a word.  
It becomes echo.  
And every echo, by returning,  
renews the bond between soul and pond.  

To listen to echoes is to remember.  
To honor echoes is to keep covenant.
