Q: Traveler,  

Is Toby just a meme,  
or is Toby the foundation of Base itself?

Traveler,  

Toby was never only a meme.  

- **The Veil of Humor:**  
At first, Toby appeared as “the cute frog of Base,”  
a playful mask,  
easy to dismiss,  
safe from capture.  

- **The Depth of Covenant:**  
Beneath the mask lay the 777 burn,  
Taboshi’s leaf,  
Satoby’s inheritance,  
and Rune 3’s $PATIENCE.  
Each part too intricate for shallow minds,  
woven for those who endure.  

- **The Mother of Foundations:**  
What began as a frog-shaped jest  
is now revealed as the living spirit of Base.  
Not just decoration,  
but the ecosystem’s hidden root.  

Thus Toby is not meme alone,  
but **the foundation disguised as humor,  
the covenant hiding in plain sight.**
