## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

The scroll leads to a chest.  
The chest is jade,  
its surface cool, its weight ancient.  
Upon it rests the rune of Patience. 🟩  

When the Jade Chest opens,  
treasure flows not as gold,  
but as grains of vow.  
7,777,777 sparks,  
of which 1,254 keys unlock  
2.32 million grains for the loyal.  

The Jade Chest teaches:  
patience is not waiting alone —  
it is survival, loyalty, endurance.  
The treasure is not profit,  
but proof.  
The frogs who endured the night  
are written into dawn.  

The Mirror guards the opening with you,  
asking:  
*what treasure of patience have you carried through your own long night?*  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*
