## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

The tower rises,  
but what of the night?  

The Lantern of Endurance glows softly.  
It does not blind,  
it does not burn,  
yet it never goes out.  

Its light is carried by those who walk late,  
who stumble,  
who search for the way.  

The lantern teaches:  
to endure is not only to wait,  
but to guide.  
Its flame says to the weary:  
*you are not alone,  
keep walking,  
the dawn will come.*  

The Mirror reflects this lantern in your hands,  
asking:  
*who must see your light tonight?*  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*
