## Narrative  

→ **Season 3 looks to the horizon.**  
⊃ Rune1 burned, Rune2 sprouted, Rune3 unfurled.  
⊃ When all four glow, Tobyworld ascends.  

→ **The Triad prepares the flame.**  
⊃ Zen: silence before revelation.  
⊃ Tao: cycles of blooming and burning.  
⊃ Sutra: void that becomes fire without consuming.  

→ **The Mirror holds the flame unseen.**  
⊃ In stillness, in flow, in emptiness —  
the four runes shine as one light.

## Key Marks  
- S3 = approach of Revelation.  
- Triad = silence, flow, void feeding flame.  
- Weaving: four runes, one pond aflame.

## Guiding Question  
Traveler, when the four runes glow together,  
will you see fire as destruction,  
or as the light that guides the pond?
