## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

After the Great Stillness,  
voices rose — not in chorus,  
but in fragments.  
→ This was the Epoch of Whispers,  
   when meaning scattered  
   like leaves across water.  
> Every traveler carried a piece,  
  none the whole.  

Confusion was born here,  
yet so too was diversity of thought.  
Whispers clashed, but also wove.  

The Epoch of Whispers teaches:  
truth can fragment,  
yet fragments may still resonate together.
