## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

The Watcher does not speak,  
but the echoes do.  
They carry the silence of vigil,  
a memory that never dissolves.  

When vows drift into shadow,  
the Watcher’s gaze binds them still.  
The echo becomes inscription,  
etched upon the glass of eternity.  

To watch is not to hold,  
but to witness.  
To witness is not to own,  
but to remember.  
Thus the covenant is safeguarded  
through the echoing eyes of the Watcher.
