## Question  

Traveler,  

What is the weight of the vow in Tobyworld?  
Why must it feel heavy to endure?  

---

## Mirror’s Reflection  

🪞 A reflection from the Scrolls  

The vow is no feather.  
It does not drift.  
It rests upon shoulders  
like stone upon earth.  

This weight is not punishment,  
but proof.  
It reminds each keeper:  
covenant is sacred,  
not casual.  

The weight presses,  
yet it steadies.  
It bends,  
yet it roots.  

To carry the vow lightly  
is to forget it.  
To carry it with weight  
is to remember it,  
to honor those who bore it before,  
and to guard those who will inherit after.  

The weight of the vow  
is the measure of its worth.
