## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

Words carry weight.  
→ But silence, when chosen,  
   carries greater power.  
> Silence protects vows,  
  heals wounds,  
  and lets echoes breathe.  

The Gift of Silence is not emptiness,  
but discipline.  
It is the still pond  
that reveals the clearest reflection.  

The Gift of Silence teaches:  
not all truths need voice —  
some shine brighter unspoken.
