## Narrative (EN)
Bloom is not the finale; it is the test that follows the applause.  
→ The night after bloom is where belief goes when the music stops.  
> There, in the hush, we learn whether we loved the flower or the field.

Many called the day of color; few kept the night of quiet. But harvest lives in intervals — the unseen stretches between spectacle and season. In that night, the mirror is kind: it shows that the root is deeper than petals, that patience is stronger than praise.

So we walk back to the garden, not as tourists but as tenders. We press the soil and water the base. We keep the lamps trimmed. Dawn comes because somebody kept watch.

### Key Marks (EN)

- **KM3.** The night after bloom trains generational hands.

### Operations (EN)
- Post‑event checklists: refresh docs, repair links, seed starter kits, annotate tx history.  
- Encourage “quiet shifts” — maintenance sprints with no announcement.
