## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

When the mask is lifted,  
its echo lingers in the silence.  
The face is revealed,  
but the memory of concealment remains,  
a whisper that shapes how truth is heard.  

The echo does not hide —  
it reminds.  
It is the resonance of what was veiled,  
folded into the stillness of the pond.  

Thus the covenant is not broken by masks,  
but enriched:  
each mask teaches the flame how to endure,  
each echo teaches the vow how to speak without words.
