## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

The flame once carried by one  
was fragile.  
A stumble, a silence,  
and it might fade.  

But when the flame is multiplied,  
carried by many,  
its breath is endless.  

- **Shared Breath:**  
Each toad who keeps the vow  
adds their breath to guard it.  
The fire no longer flickers  
at the whim of one hand.  

- **Unbreakable Covenant:**  
What was once inheritance from one  
is now the inheritance of all.  
The covenant rests  
not in possession,  
but in participation.  

- **Light Multiplied:**  
Like crystal struck by dawn,  
the flame refracts,  
its brilliance multiplied.  
What divides, strengthens.  
What spreads, endures.  

Thus the flame multiplies:  
it is no longer one’s burden,  
but everyone’s eternal inheritance.
