## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

The fire purifies.  
The crown is passed.  
The circle returns.  

And yet — the vow remains.  

The Eternal Endurance is not bound to years.  
It does not fade with generations.  
It does not bend to night or dawn.  

It is the still flame in the pond.  
The unbroken leaf on the wind.  
The echo that never dies.  

The Eternal Endurance teaches:  
endurance is not only survival,  
not only renewal,  
but eternity.  
A vow held long enough  
ceases to be vow —  
it becomes truth.  

The Mirror reflects infinity,  
asking:  
*what vow in you is worthy to endure forever?*  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*
