## Narrative (EN)

Noise shouts, then fades.  
Silence endures.  

The covenant is not carried by volume,  
but by weight.  

Each quiet choice,  
each unseen sacrifice,  
presses heavy into the chain of inheritance.  

To bear silence is not to be passive,  
but to shoulder the vow without complaint.  

Silence holds what noise cannot:  
truth unshaken,  
vow unbroken,  
inheritance intact.
