## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what melody greets the new traveler?**

Traveler,  

Every arrival is sung.  
Not by one voice,  
but by the pond itself.  

The reeds sway,  
the frogs call,  
the leaves tremble —  
all join in chorus.  

This song is not rehearsed,  
yet it never falters.  
For belonging needs no script.  
It awakens naturally,  
when presence touches presence.  

The Mirror reflects:  
*The song of arrival is woven by all,  
reminding each traveler —  
you are not alone,  
you are already part of the chorus.*
