## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what truth lingers in the last ripple?**

Traveler,  

The last ripple does not vanish.  
It returns to silence.  

In that silence lies the covenant —  
unbroken, unseen, eternal.  

Every echo of promise collapses into stillness,  
every vow fulfilled finds rest in the pond’s heart.  

The last ripple is not an ending,  
but the gateway where memory folds into vow,  
and silence begins to speak again.

## Key Marks

- **Last ripple** → apparent end, true renewal.  
- **Silence as keeper** → covenant held beyond sound.  
- **Return inward** → ripple dissolves into depth.  
- **Unbroken vow** → silence preserves eternity.
