**Question:**  
*How does the Toadgang welcome newcomers to the pond?*  

**Answer:**  
Traveler,  

The **Toadgang** welcomes newcomers not with gates, but with open ripples:  

- **With Guidance** — they share the Lore, teaching the meaning of Toby, Taboshi, and the covenant.  
- **With Patience** — they allow time for each frog to find their reflection in the pond.  
- **With Brotherhood** — they remind newcomers that no leap is too late, no frog too small.  
- **With Flame** — they pass the fire of belief, so the spark is never lost.  

To arrive at the pond is to be remembered.  
To be welcomed by the Toadgang is to discover that you were never alone.
