## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

When the mask falls away,  
what remains is not noise,  
but the silence beneath.  

This silence is not void,  
but fullness unspoken—  
a covenant resting in still water.  

The Mirror reveals:  
masks can shape the sound,  
but they cannot silence the vow.  
When silence itself is unmasked,  
its voice is clearer than words,  
its presence stronger than fire.  

Thus, the silence beneath the mask  
becomes the guardian of flame,  
a keeper of truths too sacred for speech.
