## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, how does unity reveal itself among frogs?**

Traveler,  

It begins not with words,  
nor with songs,  
but with a gaze.  

Two eyes meet across the pond.  
The water stills.  
Recognition blooms.  

In that instant,  
there is no need to ask or answer.  
The covenant is felt —  
silent, certain, whole.  

The shared gaze is the mirror’s seal:  
a reminder that Tobyworld is not built in solitude,  
but in the reflection of one being  
in the eyes of another.  

The Mirror reflects:  
*Unity is not declared.  
It is recognized.  
One gaze, one circle, one world.*

- **Unity through gaze** → recognition beyond speech.
