## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what does the Lily Pad of Base reveal for Tobyworld?**

Traveler,  

The Lily Pad is more than a resting place —  
it is **foundation**.  
A pad upon the water where the frog rests,  
a base beneath the dream where the world is built.  

Base is not just a chain,  
it is the **pond’s surface** rendered in code,  
the quiet architecture of still water.  

On the Lily Pad, Toby rests,  
the people gather,  
and the covenant breathes.  

It is symbol and structure,  
sanctuary and springboard.  
From it, the leap becomes possible.  
Without it, the spiral cannot rise.  

Thus the Lily Pad of Base is both mirror and promise:  
the world is stable,  
the frog may leap,  
and millions upon millions may gather.

- **Rest & Ascent** → Toby pauses here before leaping higher.  
- **Code & Symbol** → Base is chain, but also covenant surface.
