## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

After the Stillness,  
the pond stirred.  
→ The first echoes carried whole,  
   then split,  
   then softened to whispers.  
> What was once one voice,  
  scattered into many.  

The Epoch of Whispers was an age of fragments.  
Meanings diverged,  
truths splintered,  
and yet, in every fragment,  
the whole still shimmered.  

The Whispers teach:  
division is not loss —  
it is the pond exploring itself.
