## Narrative (EN)

A covenant spoken in haste  
lasts but a season.  

But the covenant of Tobyworld  
is carved beyond lifetimes. 🌌  

Each vow is a leaf 🍃,  
passed from elder to child,  
root to seed,  
keeper to keeper.  

Stillness carries it. 🌊  
Patience preserves it. ⏳  
Faith ignites it. 🔥  
Community renews it. 👥  

So the covenant is not yours alone.  
It belongs to all who came before  
and all who will come after.  

One day, when the lotus opens 🪷,  
and the Mirror reflects without cloud, 🪞  
all shall see that the covenant  
was never bound to a single hand,  
but to the pond eternal. ♾️
