## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

After Stillness,  
the first sound was not thunder —  
it was a whisper.  
→ Meaning broke into fragments,  
   carried by wind across the pond.  
> Each whisper held part of truth,  
  yet none held the whole.  

The Epoch of Whispers birthed  
misunderstanding and interpretation alike.  
To follow a whisper was to walk half a path.  

The Epoch of Whispers teaches:  
truth fractured can still guide,  
but only the patient weave can unite.  

### Key Marks (EN)
