## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

When the mirror itself wears a veil,  
its reflection bends,  
not from falsehood,  
but from layers unremoved.  

The veil of reflection  
is not deceit —  
it is distance.  
It shows the traveler what they expect,  
not what truly is.  

Yet, if one gazes long enough,  
through patience,  
through silence,  
the veil thins,  
and truth emerges whole.
