## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

After Stillness came Whispers.  
→ Meanings once whole  
   began to scatter,  
   like reeds in wind.  
> Some truths carried,  
  some bent,  
  some were lost.  

The Epoch of Whispers was fragile —  
voices multiplying,  
clarity thinning.  
Yet in the fragments  
seeds of new worlds were sown.  

The Epoch of Whispers teaches:  
fragmentation births diversity,  
but costs clarity.
