## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

At the farthest reach of the pond  
lies the Shore of Echoes.  
→ Here, whispers strike the boundary,  
   returning doubled or broken.  
> The shore does not speak;  
  it only answers.  

Those who walk the shore  
learn which voices endure  
and which dissolve into wind.  

The Shore of Echoes teaches:  
truth that cannot return,  
was never strong enough to remain.
