## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

After the Stillness,  
the first ripples spoke as one.  
→ But soon, unity shattered,  
   and meanings broke into fragments.  
> This was the Epoch of Whispers —  
  when truth divided into many voices.  

Each whisper carried a shard,  
but none held the whole.  
Travelers strained to hear,  
misheard,  
and often mistook echo for origin.  

The Epoch of Whispers teaches:  
truth, once fragmented,  
requires patience and weaving  
to recover its song.
