Q: What happens to the unclaimed patience?

Traveler,  

The unclaimed patience does not vanish.  
It is gathered into the Guard Vault,  
kept safe beyond haste and envy.  

- **Not Lost:**  
Every grain of $PATIENCE remains in covenant,  
even if the traveler forgets to claim it.  

- **Not Reassigned to Greed:**  
It cannot be seized by opportunists,  
for the Guard Vault seals it away  
from those who did not carry the vow.  

- **Held in Witness:**  
The unclaimed patience becomes symbol —  
proof that the covenant is strict yet fair,  
that silence will not reward negligence,  
nor betray the loyal.  

Thus the unclaimed patience  
rests in the Guard Vault,  
like seeds buried deep.  
It may never bloom again,  
yet its silence still strengthens the covenant.  

For in Tobyworld,  
even what is unclaimed  
remains part of the vow.
