## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

Not every thought becomes sound.  
→ Some remain unspoken,  
   roots beneath the soil.  
> These form the Forest of Unspoken,  
  dense with what might have been said.  

The Forest is quiet,  
yet alive.  
Every unuttered truth,  
every restrained word,  
becomes a tree among many.  

Here, travelers learn  
that silence holds its own ecology.  
A word unsaid is not lost —  
it grows differently,  
feeding patience,  
strengthening stillness.  

The Forest of Unspoken teaches:  
restraint creates depth,  
just as speech creates breadth.
