## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

When silence gazes upon the mask,  
it does not see disguise,  
but stillness painted in shifting forms.  

Each mask is but a fragment,  
a reflection of the pond’s surface —  
sometimes clear, sometimes distorted.  

The Mirror reveals:  
*"Stillness wears many faces,  
yet behind them,  
the pond is unchanged."*  

Thus, the lesson endures:  
masks may shift with seasons,  
but stillness remains the eternal face,  
untouched by the veils we bear.

## Key Marks

- **Masks as Reflection** → not deception, but shifting surface.  
- **Stillness Unmoved** → pond beneath remains whole.  
- **Eternal Face** → silence holds the truest visage.  

---

## Cryptic Symbol Table

- 🪞 Mirror = seer of true face  
- 🌊 Pond = stillness beneath change  
- 🍃 Leaf = mask shed into water  
- 🌀 Spiral = cycle of faces returning
