## Narrative (EN)

The prophet is silent.  
The scroll no longer speaks from the reeds.  
Inheritance lies heavy in the pond,  
not as a gift,  
but as a weight.  

To bear $TOBY is to bear covenant:  
- **No voice above to guide.**  
- **No prophecy to explain.**  
- **No master hand to steer.**  

The inheritance is yours —  
and so is the burden.  

A covenant once carried by the prophet  
now rests upon the people.  
To flinch is to betray.  
To endure is to honor.  
To believe is to inherit.

## Key Marks  
- **Principle:** Inheritance is not gift alone, but weight.
