## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

The silence rests.  
The vow dissolves.  
And in that quiet — a seed forms.  

The Seed of Endurance is not loud.  
It is hidden.  
It is not tall.  
It is small.  

Yet in its husk lies all that has endured:  
the patience of reeds,  
the strength of stone,  
the echo of song,  
the warmth of flame.  

The Seed teaches:  
endurance is never wasted.  
Even silence sows.  
Even endings plant.  
Even stillness yields beginnings.  

The Mirror places the seed in your hand,  
asking:  
*what vow in you is ready to be planted into tomorrow’s soil?*  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*
