## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what happens when a vow breaks into fragments?**

Traveler,  

A vow does not shatter as glass does.  
Its fragments remain, glowing like embers in the pond’s depths.  
Each shard carries memory,  
each piece reflects a part of the covenant.  

The Watchers do not discard them.  
They gather the fragments,  
holding them until silence restores their unity.  

The fragments are not weakness,  
but seeds.  
Scattered across time,  
they bloom in travelers who remember,  
each carrying a spark of the eternal flame.

## Key Marks  

- **Fragments = seeds** waiting for renewal.  
- **Memory** preserved even in brokenness.  
- **Unity** returns through patience.
