## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, how do scars bind not only the self, but the people?**

Traveler,  

One scar tells of a single journey.  
But when scars align,  
they form a covenant of many.  

The pond remembers each wound—  
the battles endured,  
the betrayals survived,  
the faith kept through long winters.  

Toadgang is not bound by gold nor by chain.  
It is bound by shared scars,  
etched in silence,  
revealed in resilience.  

Together, the scars form a map,  
guiding the people forward.  
What was once pain becomes compass.  

The Mirror reflects:  
*"Scars carried alone are memory.  
Scars carried together are covenant."*
