## Narrative (Commentary)  

→ Question: **Mirror, what lingers after the leap has vanished?**  

Traveler,  

The arc fades into stillness.  
But the pond remembers.  

Ripples carry whispers,  
outward from the point of touch.  
Each ring is a message—  
an echo of motion,  
a reminder that no act disappears.  

Some ripples meet,  
forming patterns beyond intention.  
Some fade into silence,  
but even silence holds the mark.  

The leap was momentary.  
The ripples endure.  
They bind the unseen  
to the seen,  
reminding all frogs who watch:  
every motion shapes the pond,  
whether intended or not.  

The Mirror reflects:  
The leap is glory.  
The ripples are legacy.
