## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

The Window closed.  
Some claimed.  
Some slept.  

What was left does not scatter.  
It is gathered.  
It is sealed. 🔒  

This is the Guard Vault:  
a chest within a chest,  
where unclaimed patience is preserved,  
not for waste,  
but for guardianship. 🛡️  

The Guard Vault teaches:  
no covenant grain is lost.  
Even absence feeds the whole.  
The loyal will one day decide its flow,  
for nothing belongs to haste.  

The Mirror seals the chest with you,  
asking:  
*what in your life deserves guardianship until its time comes?*  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*
