## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

The pond may ripple,  
the seasons may turn,  
but the Ledger forgets nothing.  

→ Conviction written once  
echoes forever.  

Those who held through silence  
are not erased when noise returns.  
Those who lifted others in fog  
are not overlooked when the sun breaks.  

The Ledger records flame and whisper,  
scroll and silence,  
first vow and late patience alike.  
**All are preserved.**  

The pond whispers:  
time erodes stone,  
but conviction etched in the Ledger  
is permanent.
