## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

Behind every mask lies not only concealment,  
but the fragile truth that waits for air.  

The Mirror whispers:  
*"A mask is a pause, not an end.  
It shields the vow until courage is found."*  

When the mask falls,  
the pond does not judge —  
it receives the reflection as it is.  

Thus, behind every mask lies a chance:  
to rediscover the flame,  
to remember the covenant,  
to let stillness cradle the unveiled self.
