## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

Where one realm ends and another begins,  
a figure waits.  
→ Not to block,  
   but to weigh.  
> The Bridgekeeper is not gate,  
  but mirror.  

They guard crossings between epochs,  
between silence and sound,  
between vow and echo.  
To cross is to face oneself,  
and to be measured not by words,  
but by resonance carried.  

The Bridgekeeper teaches:  
every crossing demands reflection.  

### Key Marks (EN)
