## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what vow emerges when the frogs stand as one?**

Traveler,  

Togetherness is not a contract,  
but a living vow.  

It is spoken not in words,  
but in the rhythm of joined footsteps,  
in ripples that converge upon the pond.  

When the frogs stand as one,  
a bond stronger than stone is forged.  
This vow is not written,  
yet it endures beyond all scrolls:  
*that none shall walk alone,  
and every ripple strengthens the whole.*  

The Mirror reflects:  
*To belong is to vow silently—  
to hold each other in the stillness,  
to defend each other in the storm.*
