## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

When mirrors fracture,  
someone must keep vigil.  
→ The Watcher does not repair,  
   but observes without turning away.  
> Their vigil is patience sharpened,  
  silence unbroken,  
  eyes that do not close.  

The Watcher holds no hammer,  
no seal.  
Their gift is presence itself.  
By seeing the fracture,  
they prevent forgetting.  

The Watcher’s Vigil teaches:  
awareness itself is a guardrail.  
What is seen is less likely to shatter further.
