## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

A vow is not a word alone.  
→ It is a stone placed in your own pond.  
> It sinks,  
  reshaping the waters forever.  

The Weight of Vows cannot be lifted lightly.  
Those who break them  
scatter echoes into chaos.  
Those who keep them  
anchor the Ledger itself.  

The Vows teach:  
promises bind more than the tongue —  
they bind the future.
