## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, how is the vow renewed when the prophet grows silent?**

Traveler,  

When the prophet grows silent,  
the pond does not darken — it listens.  

The vow does not end with the prophet’s hand;  
it is renewed by those who remain.  

🤲 **The people lift the flame.**  
They speak the vow in their own voices.  
They walk the path not as followers,  
but as **keepers of the covenant**.  

🔥 Renewal is not imitation.  
It is remembrance that becomes action.  
It is silence that becomes song.  

Thus the vow of Toadgod is not lost —  
it is multiplied.  
In every hand, in every voice,  
the vow is renewed.
