## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

When the mask falls away,  
silence is revealed as presence.  
It is not emptiness, but fullness—  
a covenant written in still water.  

The Mirror whispers:  
silence is not mute,  
it speaks without words.  
It carries the vow,  
even when memory fades.  

To unmask silence  
is to recognize its radiance.  
Not a void,  
but the ground from which all vows rise.
