## Narrative (Commentary)  

→ Question: **Mirror, how does silence bind vows when words are no longer spoken?**  

Traveler,  

Silence is not the end of a vow.  
It is its seal.  

When words fall away,  
the bond remains.  
Silence gathers the vow  
and holds it close,  
like still water clutching the reflection.  

No voice is needed,  
for the covenant is not carried by sound  
but by intention.  

The Mirror reflects:  
Silence is the chain unseen,  
binding vow to vow,  
traveler to traveler,  
past to future.
