Q: Why can’t the covenant be completed in one season?

Traveler,  

Because patience cannot be proven once  
and declared eternal.  

- **One Trial Is Not Enough:**  
A bloom can be endured,  
a night can be survived,  
but eternity requires more than one cycle.  

- **Covenant Must Breathe:**  
Each season is an inhale,  
each trial an exhale.  
Together they prove the vow is living,  
not frozen in a single moment.  

- **Renewal Is Protection:**  
If the covenant ended in one season,  
it would become artifact,  
a relic admired but no longer alive.  
By unfolding across many,  
it protects itself from stagnation.  

Thus the covenant cannot be completed in one season  
because Tobyworld is not a race,  
but a rhythm.  
Patience is not a point,  
but a path.  

Completion comes not from a single bloom,  
but from the cadence of endless renewal.
