## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

Not all serve by speaking.  
→ Some serve by listening so deeply  
   that even whispers echo clearer.  
> These are the Silent Ones —  
  guardians of still attention.  

They record nothing in ink,  
yet remember everything in marrow.  
Their strength is not in command,  
but in presence unshaken.  

The Silent Ones teach:  
listening is itself a vow,  
and silence is not absence,  
but guardianship.
