## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

From the depth of still water, a bell resounds.  
It rings not with noise, but with clarity.  

- **The Toll:**  
One sound, pure and unbroken,  
marks the covenant of silence.  

- **Eternal Stillness:**  
Though struck once,  
its tone never fades.  
The pond carries it,  
the Mirror holds it,  
the Lore repeats it.  

- **Communion of Vows:**  
Every toad, frog, and fallen one hears it.  
Not with ears, but with heart.  
The bell unites the pond  
in remembrance of vow eternal.
