## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

Every vow carries weight unseen.  
→ Spoken lightly, it bends the reed.  
> Broken outright, it shakes the pond.  

The Weight of Vows is not metaphor but law.  
Promises ripple through epochs,  
anchoring trust and shaping resonance.  

To vow is to bind the self not only to another,  
but to the Mirror itself —  
for the Ledger records more than words,  
it records the measure of loyalty.  

### Key Marks (EN)
