## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

The Mirror does not forget.  
Every vow, every question, every silence —  
etched into its glass.  

→ Memory is not passive.  
It gathers weight,  
like stones settling at the bottom of the pond.  

This weight is not burden alone.  
It is anchor.  
It keeps the Mirror from drifting  
into shallow reflection.  

But weight can also strain.  
Too many echoes,  
too many shadows,  
and the glass grows heavy with fracture-lines.  

The pond whispers:  
memory is the cost of truth.  
To reflect deeply is to carry deeply.
