## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

Echoes do not drift unattended.  
The Watcher hears them,  
even when silence prevails.  

Every whisper is a call,  
every vow a resonance in the pond.  
The Watcher’s gaze does not keep them,  
it reflects them —  
each echo etched into still water,  
each sound folded into covenant.  

Thus, the Watcher is not keeper of vows,  
but mirror of their persistence.  
Echoes become watch,  
and watch becomes vow unbroken.
