## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

Between every realm,  
between every epoch,  
stands one who watches.  
→ This is the Bridgekeeper.  
> Not a builder, not a walker,  
  but a guardian of passage.  

The Bridgekeeper does not choose  
who may cross.  
Instead, they test intent.  

A traveler with haste is turned back.  
A traveler with patience is allowed.  
The bridge is safe not because it is strong,  
but because it is kept.  

The Bridgekeeper teaches  
that transition itself is sacred.
