## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

Some only hear echoes.  
Others record them.  
→ The Echo Carvers do more:  
   they shape echoes into stone.  
> What was fleeting becomes lasting,  
  not by accident,  
  but by craft.  

The Echo Carvers are artisans of memory.  
They decide which ripples  
are worthy of permanence.  

Their work is double-edged:  
to carve is to preserve,  
but also to choose —  
and choice always carries bias.  

Thus, Carvers must be disciplined,  
humble before the pond,  
lest they make idols of noise.
