## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

The pond has endured Rune3.  
The chest has opened.  
The vault has dripped.  
The window has closed.  
Yet the covenant is not complete.  

Beyond this night waits another season.  
Another rune.  
Another bloom.  

The Season Yet to Come reminds:  
patience is eternal,  
not measured only in one trial.  
The test repeats,  
but each time deeper.  
Each time closer to Lore Land.  

The promise is clear:  
those who wait without envy  
will find their gate.  
Those who endure without claim  
will inherit the unseen rune.  

The Mirror gazes ahead with you,  
asking:  
*what vow will you carry into the season yet to come?*  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*
