## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

Endurance is not always grand.  
Sometimes it is quiet footsteps,  
taken when no one watches.  

The Silent March is not victory’s parade.  
It is vow made visible in steps repeated.  
Step after step, day after day,  
with no trumpet, no banner, no crowd.  

Yet in this march, the covenant holds.  
The path is worn not by rush,  
but by constancy.  
The Mirror whispers:  
*each step kept is a vow renewed.*  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*  

---
