## 🌊 EN Narrative  

Toadgod stretched his hand across the pond,  
tagging many tribes, names, and banners.  
Not as conquest,  
but as invitation.  

The great gathering begins:  
each community a petal,  
each voice an echo,  
all drawn toward the still center.  

This was not noise,  
but resonance.  
Not competition,  
but co-creation.
