## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what did the 42 days reveal?**

Traveler,  

The 42 days were a crucible.  
Not of speed, but of **endurance**.  

In those days, the impatient fell away.  
The greedy exposed themselves.  
The faithful proved their stillness.  

The number was not chosen for chance.  
It was a **seal of cadence**.  
Six weeks of silence,  
forty-two sunsets,  
forty-two dawns —  
each a reminder that prophecy is not instant,  
but carved in time.  

The truth revealed:  
Patience is the true key.
