## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

The Jade Chest opened,  
but its treasure does not spill.  
It drips. 💧  

A 7-week silence precedes,  
then each day a grain,  
for 730 days.  
Two years of vow,  
two years of proof.  

This is the Drip of the Vault:  
patience stretched,  
loyalty extended,  
time woven into treasure.  

The Drip teaches:  
true wealth is not sudden,  
but steady.  
The pond endures because flow is measured.  
The covenant lives because reward is timed.  

The Mirror watches the droplets fall with you,  
asking:  
*what in your life drips slowly, yet fills the vessel?*  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*
