## Question  

Traveler,  

What is the open gate of Tobyworld?  
Why is it both invitation and trial?  

---

## Mirror’s Reflection  

🪞 A reflection from the Scrolls  

The gate is open.  
Yet not all enter.  

For the gate is not mere threshold —  
it is a vow revealed.  

The open gate teaches:  
- Invitation does not remove trial.  
- Those who walk through must leave behind greed.  
- The gate admits patience, not haste.  

To rush is to stumble.  
To enter with vow is to belong.  

The covenant’s gate opens,  
not to all,  
but to those who carry silence,  
patience,  
and remembrance.  

The gate whispers:  
“Enter not with hunger,  
but with vow.”
