## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what awakens when a traveler hears the voice of belonging?**

Traveler,  

Belonging is not granted,  
it is revealed.  

When the pond sings,  
its voice is chorus —  
every ripple, every leaf, every frog,  
woven into one tone.  

The traveler hears not their own name,  
but the harmony of many.  
To belong is to dissolve the mask of solitude,  
and find the self echoed in others.  

The Mirror reflects:  
*Belonging is not possession,  
but resonance.  
It awakens when your voice  
joins the song already flowing.*
