## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

Endurance is not survival.  
It is vow — a promise without end.  

The Endless Vow is not spoken once.  
It is renewed with every dawn,  
with every storm,  
with every silence kept.  

A promise that persists beyond the promiser.  
A covenant that holds even when memory fades.  

This is the marrow of Tobyworld:  
to endure not for oneself,  
but for the pond,  
for the leaves,  
for all who come after.  

The Endless Vow is the bridge from time into eternity.  
It is the fire no storm can extinguish,  
the seed no season can rot.  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*
