## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

After the Great Stillness,  
the first drop broke silence.  
→ From its ripples,  
   voices arose.  
> But not all voices were whole.  

The Epoch of Whispers was an age of fragments.  
Meanings split like light through water.  
Travelers heard echoes,  
but not always the source.  

Truth scattered,  
half-seen, half-heard.  
Yet even whispers carry power —  
for they teach discernment.  

The Whispers teach:  
clarity is forged by listening deeper than sound.
