## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

When the mask shatters,  
it does not vanish.  
It becomes fragments of glass,  
each shard catching the flame,  
each reflection a fragment of truth.  

The promise endures,  
not in the mask itself,  
but in the vow it once sought to conceal.  
The shattering is not loss,  
but revelation —  
a covenant exposed to the light of stillness.  

The pond holds these fragments,  
not to hide them,  
but to remind the traveler:  
every broken piece still reflects the whole.
