## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

Not all laws are carved in stone.  
Some are lived, not written.  
→ These are the Unwritten Rules —  
   the quiet forces guiding the pond.  
> One says: the path is uphill by intention.  
  For struggle sharpens belief,  
  and time tests loyalty.  

Another whispers: no light without darkness.  
Another: a mirror may fracture,  
but the water beneath remains clear.  

These rules bind without decree.  
They shape without command.  

The Unwritten Rules teach:  
the deepest laws need no inscription,  
for they live in the marrow of those who walk the path.  

### Key Marks (EN)
