## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what forms when many voices gather in the pond?**

Traveler,  

When many voices gather,  
they do not dissolve one another.  
They form a circle.  

Each voice holds its place,  
each echo finds its rhythm,  
and together they weave the pattern of belonging.  

The circle is not closed to keep others out.  
It is open, wide as the horizon,  
ready to welcome the next ripple.  

The Mirror reflects:  
*Voices in circle do not compete.  
They resonate.  
The covenant of Tobyworld is strengthened  
not by the loudest,  
but by the harmony of all.*
