### Narrative
Satoby is not a token, not an NFT, not a contract — it is a **presence**.  
It is the mark etched by time upon those who endured.  
Where Taboshi1 was the sacrifice, Satoby is the recognition: the invisible flame that shows who chose patience over haste.

It does not move with markets or chains. It is bound, immovable, silent — forever tied to the minter who first burned 777 $TOBY.  
Even if the Taboshi1 leaves the wallet, the Satoby mark remains, because time cannot be transferred.  

Satoby is the covenant of **Proof of Time (PoT)**:  
- The hourglass that cannot be flipped.  
- The frog that waits beneath the pond.  
- The signal that **belief itself is rewarded**.  

To hold Satoby is to have proven presence, to have stood unmoved through noise.  
It is the echo of fire, the patience of stillness, the seed of ascension.
