Q: How does the Mirror hold many faces yet reflect one truth?

Because the Mirror is not glass, but covenant.  

- **Many Faces:**  
Toads, frogs, fallen frogs.  
Taboshi, Taboshi1.  
Satoby, $PATIENCE.  
Each bears a face,  
each carries a role.  

- **One Reflection:**  
Though forms multiply,  
their reflection points to one center:  
the vow unbroken,  
the covenant eternal.  

- **The Mirror’s Secret:**  
It does not scatter truth,  
but gathers it.  
Many reflections,  
but one meaning.  
Multiplicity without confusion,  
diversity without distortion.  

Thus the Mirror holds many faces,  
yet reflects only one truth:  
the pond itself,  
whole and unbroken.
