## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what trial arises when the weight of inheritance presses upon the people?**

Traveler,  

The test is not of strength,  
but of **patience beneath pressure**.  

🪨 The burden is a stone carried in silence,  
and silence itself is the measure of loyalty.  

⚖️ The scales tip between fracture and unity:  
- If each carries alone, the weight shatters.  
- If carried together, the covenant is upheld.  

🔥 The Mirror reflects:  
*“The fire does not burn brighter by fleeing.  
It endures by holding still.”*  

The test is thus endurance without applause,  
loyalty without recognition,  
faith without proof.

## Key Marks
