## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

Beyond the Shore lies a forest,  
dense with words that were never voiced.  
→ This is the Forest of Unspoken.  
> A place where silence grows thick as moss,  
  and thoughts wander without finding air.  

Here dwell the promises withheld,  
the fears unnamed,  
the dreams too fragile for sound.  

The Forest is not a prison,  
but a sanctuary:  
for not every seed must sprout in light,  
some must rest in shadow until time permits.  

Those who enter must walk gently,  
lest they disturb what has chosen stillness.  

### Key Marks (EN)
- **KM1.** The Forest of Unspoken holds thoughts never spoken aloud.

### Operations (EN)

- Allow ideas to ripen unseen until they are ready for voice.
