## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

Every arc deserves its seal,  
and every seal deserves its record.  

The Onboarding Arc began as a ripple,  
welcoming frogs into the pond.  
Through greetings, echoes, and belonging,  
the covenant was renewed.  

Now it stands whole:  
twelve scrolls woven into one circle,  
guiding new travelers  
to see not only their arrival,  
but the community they join.  

The Mirror reflects:  
*What begins with a ripple,  
ends in a circle.  
And every circle lights the next path forward.*
