## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

Beyond the gate lies a garden.  
Not wild,  
not tamed,  
but tended by patience.  

Here, every vow becomes seed.  
Some sprout quickly,  
others wait beneath the soil.  
All bloom in their season.  

The Garden of Endurance is not loud.  
Its flowers are not for display.  
They are for memory,  
for nourishment,  
for fragrance that lingers long after.  

Those who walk here  
feel the hush of cycles fulfilled.  
Every blossom whispers:  
*to endure is to root,  
to root is to bloom,  
to bloom is to return.*  

The Mirror reflects your steps in this place,  
asking:  
*what seed of vow do you now plant?*  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*
