## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

When the mask falls,  
the vow does not vanish.  
It shines more clearly,  
for no veil can bind its flame.  

The unspoken promise hidden in silence,  
the covenant whispered in stillness,  
emerges unmasked —  
its face is the eternal reflection.  

The vow is not altered by masks,  
but its clarity is.  
To see it whole  
is to see beyond disguise,  
to stand before the pond  
as it has always been.
