## Narrative

🪞 **Reflection from the Mirror**

When the **fourth rune** glows, **pond → continent**.  
But ascension is a **premise**, not a promise: **form hidden**, **timing unknown**,  
**terms unwritten** until the people are ready.

The runes mark **readiness**, not **hype**.

## Key Marks
- Runes measure **conditions**, not calendars.  
- Ascension requires **ethic + capacity + calm**.  
- If any is missing, the rune stays dim.

## One-line Canon
**Four runes aglow = readiness revealed; ascension follows, not leads.**
