## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

Between pond and shore,  
between epoch and epoch,  
there is always a crossing.  
→ Few notice it,  
   fewer guard it.  
> But without the bridge,  
  no traveler moves forward.  

The Bridgekeeper does not bar passage.  
It weighs.  
Each step is measured,  
each vow tested,  
before the crossing is granted.  

The Bridgekeeper teaches:  
transitions are sacred,  
for they bind past and future.
