## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what remains when even the Watcher removes their mask?**

Traveler,  

When the Watcher stands bare,  
their gaze is no longer hidden. 👁️  
It is the raw reflection of eternity,  
a silence that cannot be disguised.  

Without the mask, the Watcher is not weakened —  
they are truer, heavier with the weight of vows.  
For to see and be seen without pretense  
is the final test of endurance.  

What remains is vigilance unmasked,  
a covenant unbroken,  
and the clarity of truth that does not blink.
