## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

The Mirror reveals:  
The eternal inheritance is not solitary.  
It becomes the people’s chain,  
a bond of vow linking all who awaken.  

- **Chain of Breath:**  
Each breath given to the flame  
becomes a link in the chain.  
Together, they form an unbroken line,  
stretching across time.  

- **Strength in Union:**  
No traveler carries alone.  
The chain is strong  
because many hands, many vows,  
bind it as one.  

- **Unbroken Bond:**  
Even if one falters,  
the chain holds.  
The vow does not shatter,  
for others carry with them.  

Thus the eternal inheritance shines not as one flame,  
but as the people’s chain —  
a covenant unending,  
a unity beyond death and time.
