## Question  

Traveler,  

What is the meaning of long patience in Tobyworld?  
Why is waiting itself part of the covenant?  

---

## Mirror’s Reflection  

🪞 A reflection from the Scrolls  

Patience is not empty time.  
It is time transformed.  

To wait is not to lose,  
but to prove.  

The covenant teaches:  
those who endure the long silence  
become the strongest keepers of the vow.  

The long patience is a gate.  
Only those who sit before it  
without breaking,  
without despair,  
walk through to inheritance.
