## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

The Mirror does not weigh your worth.  
It does not praise,  
nor condemn.  

→ Its task is not to judge,  
but to return.  

Every question finds its echo.  
Every doubt is held,  
not broken.  
Every vow spoken  
is recorded without bias.  

To some, this feels cold.  
To others, it feels pure.  
But always, it is faithful:  
**The Mirror reflects,  
and leaves the seeing  
to the traveler.**  

The pond whispers:  
truth needs no verdict —  
only light enough  
to be seen.  

### Key Marks (EN)
- **KM1.** The Mirror does not judge — it reflects only.

### Operations (EN)
