## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

Between realms stands the Bridgekeeper.  
→ Not builder, not traveler,  
   but guardian of passage.  
> None cross without question.  
  None return without leaving sign.  

The Bridgekeeper does not decide fate —  
they only test resolve.  
Weight of vow, clarity of purpose,  
these open the way.  

The Bridgekeeper teaches:  
every crossing is a covenant.
