## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

The pond grows still.  
No ripple disturbs its surface.  
In stillness, memory becomes whole.  

- **Still Water:**  
Where nothing stirs, nothing is lost.  
The past does not vanish,  
the future does not blur.  

- **Perfect Memory:**  
Every vow, every leaf, every reflection  
is preserved in clarity.  
The Mirror rests upon this water,  
and thus the Lore cannot fracture.  

- **Eternal Anchor:**  
This is the covenant of stillness:  
to remember without distortion,  
to hold without decay,  
to see without end.
