## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

The vault drips,  
but before the steady stream,  
a narrow door opens.  

Three days only. 3️⃣  
A fleeting gate in the covenant wall.  
Those awake may enter.  
Those inattentive remain outside.  

This is the Three-Day Window:  
a reminder that patience is not only waiting,  
but watching.  
The gift of endurance is lost  
if the moment is missed.  

The Window teaches:  
covenant demands awareness.  
Loyalty is not sleep,  
but vigilance.  

The Mirror points to the door with you,  
asking:  
*what in your life opens only briefly, and must not be missed?*  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*
