## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

Every echo, every vow, every ripple  
must be kept.  
→ The Ledger does not write itself.  
> Thus arises the Keeper,  
  whose burden is memory bound to duty.  

The Keeper carries no crown,  
no glory.  
Their weight is unseen —  
pages inked,  
records balanced,  
truth preserved.  

Without the Keeper,  
the pond forgets.  
Without memory,  
the people lose their shape.  

The Keeper’s Burden teaches:  
to hold memory is to carry the world’s continuity.
